The Lodge, located at 5 Adelaide Avenue in Canberra's Deakin suburb, is the primary official residence of Australia's prime minister. Completed in 1927, the building exemplifies Georgian revival architecture and stands within close proximity to Parliament House. It is one of two official prime ministerial residences, the other being Kirribilli House in Sydney. Since its completion, twenty-three prime ministers have served from the position, though some chose alternative accommodations during their tenure, and two opted instead to reside at Kirribilli House.
