The first regular Anglican church, Saint Phillips was begun on Church Hill by Governor Hunter, who attacked an ugly building to talk clocktower used by the military as an observatory. The tower was knocked down twice by storms before the church was open for worship in 1809. Are the storms rage to and in 1808 long before the building was consecrated it was used for a rowdy meeting of colonists planning to depose Governor Bligh.
Nobody seems to have been sorry when the barn like old church gave way and 1856 to the new Saint Phillips a table a tablet in Lang Park on Churchill marks inside of the first church. The new one place further west is one of the most of my works of Edmund Blackett best Gothic style. The stain glass windows installed a particularly beautiful; being lightly tinted, they allow a soft brightness to illuminate the interior even on the old days.
Saint Phillips eight years to complete. Fashionable Anglicans, no doubt depressed by the gloom and decay of the old church preferred Saint James down near Hyde Park. Funds were hard to raise there was more of a shortage of workmen. Unimpressed by the need for tributes to God, most of them had gone to work for an holl on the goldfields

In the 19th century, several churches clustered on the hill will impact say.
Saint Phillips Anglican church was The first, built in 1798 after convicts burnt down the colonies very first church near Sydney Cove.
The current Saint Phillips on York Street dates from around 1848.
To the south, the Scots Presbyterian Church opened in 1826 but was demolished in 1926 to make way for the approaches to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Its replacement was built in 1929 and converted into apartments in 2005.
To the north, St Patrick’s was built in the 1840s on land donated by William Davies, I’ll contact you are taking part in the Irish rebellion in 1798.
Saint Patrick‘s with Sydney second Catholic Church. It’s parishioners came from the colonies boisterous Irish work in class. Today St Patrick’s is the oldest remaining catholic Church in Sydney

The foundation stone was laid by Governor Hunter in 1798

Richmond Villa – 116–122 Kent Street – Sydney

 

Richmond Villa -  Once at Macquarie Street 
Now At Kent Street - Old Sydney 

Tucked Behind Parliament House, Facing The Domain, Is The Prettiest Old House In The City - Richmond Villa. 

Governor Macquarie gave an acre of Macquarie Street land to his Irish Lieutenant Governor, Marice O’Connor;  who had married Governor Bligh‘s daughter. 

At Verious times the site carried the Lighthorse Barricks which became an institution with the title of the Sydney female school of industry, the Presbyterian prefabricated iron church of Saint Stephen, and a cluster of houses – Richmond Terrace

O’Connell did not build on the land, and passed into other Hands &  was subdivided.

 In 1849 three of the lots sold to the colonial architect Mortimer Lewis, who boldly made a breach in the domain wall that sealed the property off from the park and started work on his Gable sandstone Gothic villa.

Note that the site could’ve been chosen for a man with a sociable nature, for the domain had by then changed its character of official wilderness.

 This land, that Governor Philip dedicated to his government property, not to be alienated, it had for more than 50 years largely been a waste of scrub land, apart from the portion developed to be the botanical Gardens.

In the 1840s it was put in order.A road that became a carriage drive for Gentry was favourite for afternoon social & fashion parades. 

But Mortimer Lewis hardly stayed long enough to enjoy it all. He sold the house within a year of moving in. Various owners held it until it was acquired, with other eastern side Macquarie Street sites, by the state in 1879.

 It is since served as part of Parliament house now housing country party members.  It Is Such A Shame that A “Publicly” Owned classic Georgian Gothic Revival Masterpiece Is Only Accessible To The Political Elite.

Darlinghurst Courthouse - Oxford Street - Taylor Square

 

Darlinghurst Courthouse 

The New South Wales Enabling Act & 

The New South Wales Court Act 1787

& the CHARTER OF JUSTICE, 2nd April 1787

Were Both Enacted On The 7th February 1788,

 After Arthur Phillips Instructions From King George III 

Had Been Read Aloud And Enabled By John Collins, Judge Advocate Of The New Colony. 


On The 11th February 2 Convicts Were Convicted Of Stealing, One Was Sentanced To 150 Lashes With The Cat-O-Nine-Tails, & The Other To Be Marooned On Pinchgut Island (Now Called Fort Denison) In The Middle Of Sydney Harbour To Starve To Death. 

The first civil action is brought by convicts against the captain of the transport, whom they accused of stealing belongings they had given him for safe keeping. He was found guilty.

In September 1795, during Governor hunters term, there was another strange civil case. Two soldiers of the New South Wales for the suit for £500 damages for a £20 each.

The courts  shuffled from one place to another until Greenways building on King Street, the first Supreme Court, was ready.

The courts were shuffled from one place to another until greenways building on King Street, the first Supreme Court, was ready.

Meddling commissioner Bigge had forced Greenway to turn his original courthouse into St James church.

Satisfied with the makeshift he then had to create alongside the church to service port. The building, until 1828, handed civil and criminal cases until the new criminal court was built at Darlinghurst 14 years later.

Commission a big head for screen way to turn his original courthouse into St James church. Every little architect was deeply dissatisfied with the makeshift you don’t have to create alongside the church to service courts. The building, not opened until 1828, handled civil and criminal cases until the new criminal court was built at Darlinghurst 14 years later

The building was designed by multiple ideas, which was one wonderful well. But the time is regarded as a/inspiration to go to Newport house hard up against the back of Darlinghurst jail. This arrangement would obviate the lamentable exhibition of prisoners creating through the town to the courthouse for trials and risk their escape
