Although it has the outward appearance of the 1880s, this row of five Victorian era terraces is one of Sydney’s earliest, dating as far back as 1842. They were recently sold by NSW public housing for a handsome sum of money to private owners.
The terraces were built by whaler Charles Grimes in the early 1840s and were depicted in artist Conrad Marten’s work in 1843. The row was completed sometime around 1848 and were originally modest shingle roofed cottages with single storey verandahs and originally had uninterrupted harbour views.1

Terraces: 197-201 Albion Street, Surry Hills New South Wales.
This double storey row of six early Sydney terrace houses, built between 1845 and 1847, is part of the St Michaels Church Group.
Around the 1940s, a second storey was added to the verandah and closed in with brick and timber.
In 1978, the terrace was added to the Register of the National Estate for its historic significance.
However it since been returned to its original condition with painted sandstone brick and corrugated iron roof.
