These heritage listed terrace house duplexes are located along High Street, in the inner city suburb of Millers Point. They are a part of a group of early twentieth century workman's terraces built around 1911 in the Federation architectural style, as part of the post plague redevelopment by the Sydney Harbour Trust. They have been used as public housing since 1986 but the state government recently started selling these valuable properties with harbour views to fund new public housing developments.
Interesting how they are built on the slope.

ReplyDeleteWonderful building! I would like to live in one of those. Very nice to learn of their history.
ReplyDeleteI do hope they do not get sold. They are lovely
ReplyDeleteNice looking buildings with some good fencing. The slats are really close together.
ReplyDeleteThat's what we call gentrification. We can only hope the government gets a good price for the real estate and uses the money wisely.
ReplyDelete(Usually it just goes to tax cuts for rich people...then they come back and say, sorry, the coffers are empty. Benefit cuts time again!)

So interesting early twentieth century building, in two floors! The two front entrances from inclined street are so amazing... Old but lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique style compared to what we see here, Jim!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Wondering how affordable they are...
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope whoever buys them has to keep their heritage. It would be fun to see them all fixed up... not that they look bad now.
