Playfair's Terrace, Heritage terrace house in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
Playfair's Terrace consists of four connected two-story brick houses with a continuous hipped roof at 1-7 Atherden Street in Sydney.
Thomas Playfair, a local butcher, purchased the vacant land in 1880 for £494 and constructed these four terrace houses for residential purposes.
The terrace houses represent the architectural style of working-class residential buildings in late nineteenth-century Sydney, with minimal exterior ornamentation.
The property maintains its original two-room layout on both ground and first floors, featuring a unified facade without visible divisions between houses.
The structure received recognition on the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 2002 for its contribution to understanding residential patterns.
