Young Street Terraces, Heritage-listed Victorian terraces in Sydney, Australia
The Young Street Terraces comprise four interconnected three-story buildings with cast iron verandah balustrades and preserved architectural elements from the 1870s.
Built between 1874 and 1875 by J.W. Walker, these terraces initially housed the Mining Board and Department of Lands before becoming nurses' quarters from 1937 to 1982.
The buildings represent the evolution of government administration in Sydney, featuring original timber surrounds and fireplaces that reflect 19th-century architectural preferences.
Located in Sydney's central business district, the terraces now function as office spaces for organizations including the Sydney Festival and NSW Historic Houses Trust.
From 1876 to 1881, two rooms at number 38 operated as a mining museum, displaying geological specimens and mining industry artifacts.
