1-7 Argyle Place, Millers Point, Heritage-listed row of shops in Millers Point, Australia.

This row of shops at Argyle Place comprises two-story buildings with ground-floor retail spaces and residential areas above, constructed in brick with slate roofs and chimneys. The facades display early 20th-century details including pebble-dash parapets and corrugated metal verandah coverings that remain visible today.

The Sydney Harbour Trust built this structure in 1910 following land resumption and reconstruction of the area after a bubonic plague outbreak. This development was part of broader urban renewal that reshaped the harbour precinct.

These shops have long served as gathering places where local residents met and purchased everyday goods from their neighbors. The row remains a social hub where people experience how commerce shaped community life in this historic area.

The buildings are easily accessible in a lively harbour-side neighborhood and can be viewed from the street to appreciate their exterior architecture and design details. Exploring the surrounding area helps visitors understand how these structures fit into the broader streetscape and community.

In 1988 local residents and activists successfully prevented private developers from demolishing these buildings through a protection campaign. This grassroots effort preserved a part of the neighborhood that otherwise would have been lost to redevelopment.
