🏭 Heritage-listed building

NIAH building record

Built: c.1780 · NIAH rating: Regional

While this building exhibits no original external fabric and has had many recent interventions, the plot ratio, vertical emphasis and window to wall massing indicate a late-eighteenth or early-nineteenth century townhouse. These basic qualities contribute to the overall coherent character of Aungier Street with its rhythmic vertical plots.
