Caroline Chisholm Cottage is a heritage-listed residence and former hospital and benevolent asylum at 3 Mill Street, East Maitland in the Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia.

Originally named Maitland, the town was to be a centre that could provide marketing services and legal order for the growing population of the area.

She was reared in the tradition of Evangelical philanthropy and at 22 married Captain Archibald Chisholm on the condition that her philanthropic work should continue.

There are two entrances into the building, located on the north and south end of the timber and corrugated iron verandah on the west side.

[1] The windows, which are a very simple colonial style, and the stark nature of the rest of the fabric indicate that the building was built for a minimum cost for the use of low income earners.

The construction method used for the cottage is of scientific interest as it is an example of a cheap house erected during the early development of a rural New South Wales town during the 1830s.
