History

Millers Point is one of the earliest areas of European settlement in Australia, and a focus for maritime activities. Argyle Place, a primitive version of a London Square, was commenced by Governor Macquarie but not fully formed until after quarrying of the adjacent rock face had ceased in about 1865. A significant streetscape element, this Edwardian commercial/residential group mostly intact, forms an interesting corner at the end of Argyle Place. First tenanted by the NSW Department of Housing in 1978.^[1]

Description

One of a row of terraces, commercial on ground floor with residential space over. Built c. 1906 in the Federation style, important streetscape element. Storeys: Two. Construction: Face brick and rendered masonry walls with slate roof. Painted timber joinery and trim. Style: Edwardian. Orientation: Overlooking Argyle Place.^[1]

The external condition of the property is good.

Modifications and dates

External: Shop fronts altered, windows altered, verandahs infilled, brick work painted, services added. Last inspected: 19 February 1995.^[1]

Heritage listing

As at 23 November 2000, this building is one of a group of five post-bubonic plague Edwardian commercial and residential properties, which are very important to the streetscape of Millers Point.^[1]

It is part of the Millers Point Conservation Area, an intact residential and maritime precinct. It contains residential buildings and civic spaces dating from the 1830s and is an important example of 19th century adaptation of the landscape.^[1]
