Name: Item No.: i66 Other Names: Type of Item: Precinct Address: Group of Buildings x 47-49 Oxford St Single Building Land Title Information: Engineering Work Historic Site Lot 1, DP 626974 Monument Garden/Park Other Description and Historic Background: Period: Late nineteenth century commercial building. Retains good façade to upper level with 1800-1858 excellent parapet. Elaborately decorated in stucco. This timber yard extends quite far 1859-1880 back into the area between Mill Hill Road and Denison Street. It appears to occupy 1881-1918 X the site used by Smiths Foundry in the 1860's and 1870's, which was originally the 1919-1968 1969-1989 site of the workshops built by Hough to service his mill (1840's-1881). The site may 1990-2003 have archaeological potential and should be properly investigated before any development takes place there. The current buildings are light industrial sheds and a turn-of-the-century commercial two-storey building with rising sun motif on the gable and crouching lions on the parapet corners. This building (47) postdates the Smith foundry, but the light industrial sheds may be on early foundations.

Roof cladding, originally of patterned slate, has been extensively replaced by corrugated metal and tile. Pressed metal roofing to bay windows remains evident to some residences. Iron picket fencing remains intact for much of the row. The group is attributed to the entrepreneurial builder J.
