Millers Point, Glover Cottages
The "Glover Cottages" are located on top of a rock shelf above Kent Street, in the inner city suburb of Millers Point. These heritage listed, semi-detached stone cottages were built in 1820 as part of a group of buildings owned by James Glover. Some of these were demolished and redeveloped in the 1880s, while more were demolished during the black plague resumption works in 1900, with only Glover Cottages surviving. It features one of the one hundred and one green plaques which were erected around Sydney in 1988, celebrating historic places, people and events.
A good thing that this was saved.

Dora, I never knew the history of Black Plague in Sydney until I started researching about the history of some buildings in the inner city.
