Old Coroner's Court, The Rocks
Old Coroner's Court, The Rocks, Heritage tourism office in The Rocks, Australia
The Old Coroner's Court stands at 102-104 George Street, featuring a stone facade and glass-walled viewing rooms designed for forensic examinations.
Built between 1906 and 1908 by architect Walter Liberty Vernon, this building served as Sydney's second permanent coroner's court and morgue facility.
The building handled numerous investigations, including the 1935 shark arm case, which became a significant part of Sydney's criminal investigation history.
The structure now functions as a tourism information center, providing visitors with details about The Rocks district and Sydney's historical sites.
The facility introduced Sydney's first refrigerated room for cadaver storage during renovations in the late 1940s, marking advances in forensic practices.
