123-125 George Street, The Rocks, Heritage-listed retail building in The Rocks, Australia.

Located at 123-125 George Street, this two-story brick structure features three Romanesque-style windows across its first-floor facade with decorative stone moldings.

Built in 1882 for Thomas Playfair, the site originally contained a temporary hospital established in July 1788, marking one of the first major structures on George Street.

The building reflects the evolution of The Rocks district, transitioning from early colonial medical facilities to residential spaces and commercial establishments over two centuries.

The property now operates as retail space under Property NSW management, maintaining its commercial character while preserving its historical architectural elements.

The structure retains remnants of an original baker's oven within its premises, providing physical evidence of nineteenth-century commercial food preparation methods.
