Darlinghurst, court house

The Darlinghurst Court House is located on Oxford Street at Taylor Square, in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. This sandstone court house is still used by the New South Wales Supreme Court. The central block, designed by Mortimer Lewis, was built in 1835 in the Greek revival architectural style, with the side wings added in the 1880s. The court house was connected to the old Darlinghurst Gaol, which was located directly behind it, via underground passages.

Elizabeth Bay, The Jar

This contemporary sculpture is located in Beare Park on the Sydney Harbour foreshore, in the eastern suburb of Elizabeth Bay. "The Jar" was created by Timothy Perrett and carved from a hebel block, an autoclaved aerated concrete block. It was originally part of an exhibition of three artists, developing works in progress on the public footway outside the court house at Taylor Square at Darlinghurst in the mid-1990s and was later purchased by the City of Sydney for this park.
