Cadmans Cottage, Colonial sandstone building in The Rocks, Australia
The two-story sandstone cottage features thick walls, gabled roof, and multiple chimneys positioned near Sydney Harbour at 110 George Street.
Built in 1816 by architect Francis Greenway, the structure served as headquarters for water transport operations and later became a water police station.
The cottage represents early Australian colonial architecture and stands as the second oldest residential structure remaining in Sydney from the colonial period.
Visitors can contact Place Management NSW at 02 9240 8500 during weekday operating hours from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM for building access information.
The original waterline of Sydney Harbour reached within 2.4 meters of the cottage before land reclamation moved the shore 100 meters away.
