107–109 George Street, The Rocks, Heritage restaurant and retail building in The Rocks, Australia.

The four-story sandstone building at 107-109 George Street features Victorian Regency architecture with unrendered brick walls and a hipped roof with chimneys.

Originally part of Sydney's first hospital grounds in 1788, the site transformed into a government stone quarry before Patrick Freehill constructed the current building in 1860.

The location evolved from The Shipwrights Arms public house to Chicago Hotel, then housed various retail outlets before becoming home to notable restaurants.

The establishment operates as William Blue Dining, a student-run restaurant providing vocational training while serving meals in a heritage environment near Circular Quay.

The building maintains its original 1860s architectural elements while functioning as an educational facility for future hospitality professionals through hands-on restaurant management.
