History

Governor Phillip established the boundary of the Sydney Cove settlement in 1792 when he drew a line from the head of Cockle Bay to the head of Woolloomooloo Bay. East of that line was reserved for the town and west of the line, which included present-day Surry Hills was considered suitable for farming and was granted to military officers and free settlers.[1]

The first land grants in the Surry Hills area were made in the 1790s. Captain Joseph Foveaux received {{convert|105|acre|ha|order=flip}} and Commissary John Palmer received {{convert|70|acre|ha|order=flip}} in April and another adjoining {{convert|20|acre|ha|order=flip}} soon after. He called the property George Farm and in 1800 Palmer also bought Faveaux's farm. Palmer supported Governor Bligh during the Rum Rebellion and returned to England to give evidence. On his return, his reduced financial circumstances forced the sale of his land.[1]

The sale of Palmer's estate in 1814 was the first subdivision in Surry Hills.[1] Other key dates include:

Description

203-205 Albion Street are a pair of simple cottages built separately in the 1840s and joined to appear as a single building in the 1850s.[1] The site contains the main wing, kitchen wing and two small outbuildings.[1]

The main wing comprises two single storey colonial sandstock brick cottages with attic accommodation, corrugated steel roof, front and rear stone flagged verandahs, shuttered 12 pane double hung sash windows with flat gauged arches and six panel front doors with Georgian style semi-circular fanlights over. The two cottages were originally built as two freestading buildings, joined together by an early addition to form a row.[1]

A two-storey sandstock brick kitchen block with shingled roof is located at the rear of the site. A single story glazed timber framed addition is attached on the south elevation.[1]

A modern glazed, steel barred-vaulted pavilion is located between the main wign and kitchen wing.[1]

Two outbuildings are also present, a brick and weatherboard laundry and store and a timber shadehouse/gazebo.[1]

They survive as examples of the first phase of residential development in the area and belong to an important group of surviving Colonial Georgian buildings in Surry Hills.[6][1]

Cottage was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.[1]

The cottages retain many Georgian style features such as the sandstone verandah flagging, chimney pieces, doors, sash windows with shutters, one original staircase and semi-circular fanlights with glazing bars over the doors. They represent good examples of a simple Georgian colonial building style, relatively intact.[1]

There are also examples of "storey and a half" cottages, a common colonial building form that was discontinued after about 1860.[1]

The front verandah screens, although reconstructed, are now rare architectural features of the colonial period.[1]
