History

Millers Point is one of the earliest areas of European settlement in Australia, and a focus for maritime activities. Argyle Place, a primitive version of a London Square, was commenced by Governor Macquarie but not fully formed until after quarrying of the adjacent rock face had ceased in about 1865. This building built as one residence, now two, divided to the right of centre. First tenanted by the NSW Department of Housing in 1983.[1]
