The site was part of the Hospital (1790-1816) and was subsequently purchased by William Davis who developed part of the site for commercial and residential use. It passed to his heirs and a number of local land owners and speculators including local businessman (butcher) and one time Mayor of Sydney, Thomas Playfair. Playfair constructed the current buildings in the early 1880s, as well as other buildings in the local area.
