101 George Street, The Rocks
101 George Street, The Rocks, Historic building in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia.
This three-story Victorian building has original storefronts, decorative stucco on brick walls, and iron roofing dating to 1838. The interior still keeps its period features from that era.
The location was part of Sydney's first hospital grounds starting in 1788, then became residential and commercial spaces after the Rum Hospital opened in 1816. This change shaped how the neighborhood developed afterward.
The building reflects Victorian commercial design and shows how The Rocks changed from medical facilities to trading spaces during the 1800s. This transformation shaped the neighborhood's identity as a center for merchants and shopkeepers.
The heritage-registered building now houses restaurants and shops that open it to visitors daily. You can walk by to see the exterior or step inside one of the businesses.
Convict architect Francis Greenway, transported for forgery, lived here after being appointed architect by Governor Macquarie. His presence at this location shows how someone with a criminal past became important to Sydney's early growth.
