Original Villas Of Woolloomooloo Hill, Potts Point & Elizabeth Bay - 17 Allotments - Granted By Governor Darling


Originally  the great Valley Of Darlinghurst was originally subdivided by Governor Ralph Darling in the mid 1820s when he created 17 allotments of land parcels to house public servants & other private citizens.
With the 17 land grants that Governor Darling  allowed he had strict conditions that there could only be one dwelling per allotment, that each each dwelling should be built facing the city along the ridge, & 
that the land should have landscaped gardens around.
