Building is located at 1-5 Hickson Road, The Rocks at the junction with George Street and next to the Overseas Passenger Terminal. It has a secondary entrance from Circular Quay West and through ground floor tenancies. Its property description is Lot 1 Deposited Plan 600611 and Lot 2 Deposited Plan 752063. The former ASN Co. warehouse and office building and its site are of State heritage significance for their historical, aesthetic and scientific cultural values. In recognition of its significance, the place was individually listed in the NSW State Heritage Register, as item No. 1526. The former ASN Co. Building was constructed between 1884 and 1885 to the design of former Victorian Government Architect William Wardell during the early years of his business partnership with Walter Liberty Vernon. It comprises of a five-storey, four-bay former warehouse with water tower and an adjoining four storey office building with a clock tower. It is a rare, early example of Federation Anglo-Dutch style of building. The style is broadly characterised as being most prominent in Federation period with fine brickwork, Dutch gables and Renaissance inspired detailing. The building has overall significance in The Rocks, Campbell Cove and Circular Quay area due to its contribution to the locality’s character together with its landmark presence when viewed from the Harbour. The integrity of the building is relatively high, particularly in exterior and in Bays 1 to 4; however, due to the extensive changes of Bay 5 during its conversion to a cinema complex in 1990, the integrity of the internal structure and fabric of this Bay has been compromised to a degree. The fabric of the former ASN Co. Building is generally in very good condition. However, it was observed that an issue exists within the ground floor spaces caused by rising damp. This issue requires attention in medium term (6-12 months) to identify the damp source and carry out maintenance works to halt the problem. A number of small paint flaking were also observed generally within the wet areas of third floor and within the eastern and western office spaces of Bay 1. This may indicate moisture problem or lack of ventilation in these rooms and require attention in the next general maintenance and repainting works. Other issues relate to a broken timber tread of the clearstory

  • Millers Point and Walsh Bay Heritage Review (March 2007) Recommendations
    ATTACHMENT E ATTACHMENT E MILLERS POINT AND WALSH BAY HERITAGE REVIEW (MARCH 2007) RECOMMENDATIONS Note: The final Millers Point and Walsh Bay Heritage Review (March 2007) can be viewed on Council’s website at: http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/Development/HeritageInformation/ MillersPointAndWalshBayHeritage.asp ATTACHMENT E 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS This section sets out the recommendations that arise from this study. They relate to the creation of a Heritage Conservation Area, identification of places of individual heritage significance, planning considerations and management of both the private and public aspects of the study area. The recommendations are proposed within the framework that the whole of the area is of very high heritage value, that overall it should be retained and managed as it is currently being managed and that there should not be major or dramatic changes to the area or its character. It is also noted that there is limited opportunity for new buildings or elements to be added to the area, the recent development having occupied most of the vacant and available development sites. 6.1 Heritage Conservation Area 1 It is recommended that the appropriate form of heritage protection for the area is the recognition of a Millers Point/Walsh Bay Heritage Conservation Area in the City of Sydney LEP Schedule. This changes the status of the area from the current ‘Special Area’ LEP listing. This would be consistent with the planning management of other areas of heritage significance within the broader City of Sydney local government area and can provide uniform controls and management. 2 The proposed revised area boundary should be adopted as the Heritage Conservation Area boundary as set out in figure 6.1 and 6.2.

  • From Its First Occupation by Europeans After 1788, the Steep Slopes on The
    The Rocks The Rocks is the historic neighbourhood situated on the western side of Sydney Cove. The precinct rises steeply behind George Street and the shores of West Circular Quay to the heights of Observatory Hill. It was named the Rocks by convicts who made homes there from 1788, but has a much older name, Tallawoladah, given by the first owners of this country, the Cadigal. Tallawoladah, the rocky headland of Warrane (Sydney Cove), had massive outcrops of rugged sandstone, and was covered with dry schlerophyll forest of pink-trunked angophora, blackbutt, red bloodwood and Sydney peppermint. The Cadigal probably burnt the bushland here to keep the country open. Archaeological evidence shows that they lit cooking fires high on the slopes, and shared meals of barbequed fish and shellfish. Perhaps they used the highest places for ceremonies and rituals; down below, Cadigal women fished the waters of Warrane in bark canoes.1 After the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Tallawoladah became the convicts’ side of the town. While the governor and civil personnel lived on the more orderly easterm slopes of the Tank Stream, convict women and men appropriated land on the west. Some had leases, but most did not. They built traditional vernacular houses, first of wattle and daub, with thatched roofs, later of weatherboards or rubble stone, roofed with timber shingles. They fenced off gardens and yards, established trades and businesses, built bread ovens and forges, opened shops and pubs, and raised families. They took in lodgers – the newly arrived convicts - who slept in kitchens and skillions.

  • Method and Practice at the CSR Site, Pyrmont
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 22, 2004 Falling through the Cracks: Method and Practice at the CSR Site, Pyrmont MARY CASEY This paper discusses the excavation methodology and analysis of underfloor deposits at the CSR Site, a CRM archaeological project undertaken by Casey & Lowe in late 1996. This site is located in Pyrmont, on the foreshores of Sydney Cove, not far from the earlier areas of settlement in the Rocks and Millers Point. The sets of archaeological evidence investigated are from the underfloor spaces of seven houses at this site. This paper examines aspects of the analysis of these deposits, with a focus on the detailed distribution of artefacts, the results of the analysis and our interpretation of their meaning and how this added to our understanding of working-class lives in Sydney. Some links in the archaeological process between research design, excavation, post-excavation analysis and interpretation are discussed. CRM archaeology in Sydney and its methodologies and late 1996 as part of the redevelopment by Lend Lease practices has been the subject of considerable commentary Development. (Birmingham 1992b; Casey 1999, 2003; Connah 2003; Crook, An archaeological assessment was written for the site in Lawrence & Gibbs 1999; Mackay & Karskens 1999; Mayne 1996, a few months prior to the CRM excavation (Casey & & Murray 2001, 2003). This paper explores methodological Lowe 1996). A 1999 paper used the CSR buttons to describe practices and approaches to archaeological analysis at the 1 and discuss the types of buttons found on mid and later CSR site in Pyrmont (Casey & Lowe 2000). Particular issues nineteenth-century urban sites in Sydney generally (Lindbergh canvassed include the excavation methodology and the design 1999).
