Susannah Place
58/64 Gloucester St, The Rocks NSW 2000
Four intact eighteen forty-four terrace houses preserving over a century of working-class family life, room by room.
This guide to Susannah Place in The Rocks, Sydney traces four terrace houses built in 1844 by Irish immigrant Edward Riley, named after a girl documents suggest wasn't quite who the story claims. It follows the string of tenants who filled these two-up two-down homes for over a century, from an Irish family to a Norwegian sailor who jumped ship, and the 1900 plague outbreak that put this whole harbourside quarter under threat of demolition.
