The Hordern family is an Australian retailing dynasty.




Outline


The Hordern family first came to prominence in Sydney as merchants and retailers with the establishment of Anthony Hordern & Sons, and then gained notability in rural pursuits, stockbreeding, stockbroking, fashion, cricket and parliament. The Hordern name is still seen in Sydney through the naming of the Hordern Pavilion, Hordern Towers within World Square and the Hordern Fountain in memory of Samuel Hordern, in the Sydney suburb of Pyrmont.

Hordern family houses


As wealthy merchants and graziers, members of the extended Hordern family owned and built many important, and now heritage-listed, homes in Sydney and the NSW Southern Highlands. Family homes often carried names such as "Retford" celebrating the Hordern family links to Retford in Nottinghamshire, England, and "Stramshall", the birthplace of Anthony Hordern. Major dwellings are:

Retford Hall, Darling Point, was built by Anthony Hordern II in 1865 to a design by Edmund Blacket and was demolished just over one hundred years later.
Retford Park, Bowral, was built in 1887 and was owned by three generations of Samuel Horderns until 1960. James Fairfax acquired the property in 1964 and, in 2016, gifted the property to the National Trust of Australia. The old dairy was transformed into an art gallery, Ngununggula (meaning "belonging" in the local Gundungurra language), which opened in October 2021.
The Highlands, Wahroonga, was commissioned in the 1890s by Alfred James Hordern and was designed by John Horbury Hunt.
Tuxedo, Strathfield, was an early home of Sir Samuel Hordern and is also thought to have been designed by Horbury Hunt.
Babworth House, Darling Point, was the second home of Sir Samuel. It was designed by Morrow & de Putron in 1912 and is located in substantial harbourside grounds. In 2004 the house was adapted into five large apartments.
Jenner House, Potts Point, was originally known as "Stramshall", and was built by Lebbeus Hordern in 1871 to a design by Blacket. It was later added to by Thomas Rowe and is listed by the National Trust of Australia.
Shubra Hall, Croydon, is the oldest building on the campus of the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney, and was the home of Anthony Hordern III.
Zanobi, Petersham, was given to Percy Hordern as a wedding present from his family.
Kalua, Palm Beach, was owned by the Hordern family from its construction in the 1920s until 1978.
