Unwin's Stores, Heritage-listed commercial buildings in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia.
The three-story sandstone buildings at 77-85 George Street feature Colonial Georgian architecture with separate spaces for shops and residences.
Frederick Wright Unwin constructed these commercial buildings between 1843 and 1846 during an economic depression that preceded the Australian gold rush.
Chinese businesses established a presence in Unwin's Stores from 1861, with King Nam Jang becoming a central establishment for the Chinese community.
The buildings maintain their original commercial purpose and stand near Circular Quay, offering visitors direct access to this historical landmark.
The property occupies land that previously belonged to Sydney's first hospital grounds before being granted to various owners in the 1830s.
