🏭 Heritage-listed building

NIAH building record

Built: c.1770 · NIAH rating: Regional

A well-proportioned late eighteenth-century former house which has been subject to some alterations and insertion of modern fabric, including the rebuilding of the upper floor and recent replacement of some windows. A decorative focus is provided by a doorcase that features Adamesque Ionic columns. The retention of the setting features enhances the building. Despite some loss of original character and detailing, No. 39 remains an important element of the historic urban grain of both Fenian Street and the wider south side of the city. Fenian Street was originally named Hamilton's Row.
