95-99 George Street, The Rocks, Heritage building in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia.
95-99 George Street is a three-story Victorian building with original storefronts at ground level and residential units above. The structure maintains its mixed-use function with retail spaces below and living quarters above.
The building was constructed in 1868 on the former site of Sydney's first hospital, where assistant surgeon Francis Greenway lived in the early 1800s. Frederick Wright Unwin later acquired the property, and tenant Michael Gannon undertook extensive development of the land.
The building shows a typical pattern from the 1800s where shopkeepers lived directly above their businesses, blending commerce and home life in the same structure. This arrangement was common in neighborhoods like The Rocks and shaped how merchants and their families organized their daily routines.
The building contains active retail spaces and is publicly accessible at street level, though the residential units above are private. Its location on George Street makes it easy to find and explore while visiting other attractions in the area.
The building was constructed on the site of Sydney's first hospital, creating a surprising connection between medical history and later commercial development. This shift from healthcare to retail shows how The Rocks transformed over time.
