The area was further subdivided after Macleay's time, and a number of grand [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] mansions were built along the high point of the suburb's ridge line. Several of these survive (albeit much hemmed in by later buildings), including [[Rockwall, Potts Point|Rockwall]] and [[Tusculum, Potts Point|Tusculum]]. Rockwall, located in Rockwall Crescent, is a two-storey (plus cellar) sandstone villa with five bays and a verandah that encircles the house. It was one of the earlier homes designed by architect [[John Verge]] and was built from 1831 to 1837. It is the only one of these which has a garden and is in private ownership.<ref>The Heritage of Australia, Macmillan Company, 1981, pp. 2, 83.</ref>

Tusculum, located in Manning Street, is a two-storey Regency mansion that was also designed by John Verge. His client was the merchant A. B. Spark, for whom the house was built in 1831–35. It was a twin to Rockwell House and was enlarged in the 1870s by the addition of verandahs on three sides. The first tenant was Bishop [[William Broughton (bishop)|William Broughton]].<ref name="Australia pp. 2, 83">The Heritage of Australia, pp. 2, 83.</ref>

[[Kenilworth, Potts Point|Kenilworth]], was built on land that was originally part of the 1831 grant to Thomas Barker<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/kings_cross|title=Kings Cross|author=Mark Dunn|year=2011|work=Dictionary of Sydney|publisher=Dictionary of Sydney Trust|access-date=13 June 2013}}</ref> and was once a neighbour Barker's house, Rosyln Hall.<ref>{{Citation|author1=Martens, Conrad, 1801–1878|title=Roslyn Hall, Darlinghurst, c. 1836/pencil sketch by Conrad Martens|date=3 October 2010|url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/9604707|access-date=13 June 2013}}</ref>

The Roslyn Hall estate was subdivided into seven lots in 1860 and Roslyn Street was created. Around 1869, Kenilworth was built for Henry Williams. It remained in the hands of its original family until 1944 when it was sold to St Luke's Hospital.<ref>[http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=2421258 Heritage Branch NSW – St Luke's Hospital Group Including Buildings and Their Interiors]; retrieved 13 June 2012.</ref>

Manar, in Macleay Street, is a complex of three blocks of flats which dates back from the original house c.1880 through to the Inter-war Free Classical style buildings of the 1920s. They are two to three stories in height with cement rendered masonry walls and terracotta tiles roofs. The 1920s wings were designed by the architectural practice of Ernest A Scott and Green (1911–1932), later known as Scott Green and Scott (1932–1947). Residents of Manar have included [[William Parker (master)|William Parker]] who served as [[Master in Lunacy]] in the [[List of judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales|Supreme Court of New South Wales]],<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article18384092 |title=Former Master In Equity Dies |newspaper=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |issue=36,056 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=14 July 1953 |access-date=9 March 2019 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> Sir [[Mungo William MacCallum]], [[Sydney Ure Smith]], Sir [[Garfield Barwick]], Senator [[John Armstrong (Australian politician)|John Ignatius Armstrong]], Mary McEwen, widow of Sir [[John McEwen]], and Mary Bailey-Tart, the only daughter of Sir [[Earle Page]]<ref>[http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=2420941 Heritage Branch NSW – House and Flat Building Group "Manar" Including Interiors, Front Fence And Grounds] Retrieved 11 September 2016.</ref>

In 1871, [[Edmund Blacket]] built Stramshall in Macleay Street for the [[Hordern family]] of merchants. [[Thomas Rowe]] made further additions in 1877. The house was later known as Jenner House and was taken over by the Department of Defence, who sold it to the horse breeder [[Tony Peterson]] in 1998. Peterson sold the house for $15 million in 2009. It was listed by the [[National Trust of Australia|National Trust]] in 1967.<ref>Sydney Morning Herald, 30 November 2009.</ref>

Most of the other mansions, such as Orwell, have survived only as [[street name]]s. The area also boasts many fine [[Victorian era|Victorian-era]] terraces. These are chiefly located along Victoria Street, which bisects Potts Point from north to south, and is widely known for its impressive canopy of [[plane tree]]s.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
