Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Thanks for posting this. It is a wonderful forgotten corner of 'Old Sydney', obliterated for the Sydney Harbour Bridge southern approach. GoogleMapsStreetView - maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Sydney+NSW&hl=en&ll=-33...

pellethepoet The building called "Catholic Presbytery" on your map is of great interest. It is 'Cumberland Place' (not to be confused with the alleyway of the same name!) and best known as the home of Dr James Mitchell. Built by Francis Greenway in 1825; demolished c.1912. More info, photos and famous paintings of the property - collection.hht.net.au/firsthhtpictures/fullRecordPicture.... acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=430971# acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=412822#

beachcomber australia Brilliant! David Scott Mitchell's (of Mitchell Library fame) childhood home. He lived there until 1871 when his mother died.

Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection The Digital ID no. and Photo Investigator record link is wrong. It's for the neighbouring photo: "View of York Street showing the old Assembly Hall (Scots Church)", which was uploaded to Flickr immediately prior to this.
