The building at 73 George Street, The Rocks was originally constructed as a public house in 1842, known as The King's Head. It has historical significance as a greatly altered but identifiable example of the early development in the precinct, and of Sydney. The building provides evidence of the changing uses pattern and development of The Rocks by its uses as: public house; Chinese language newspaper office (1910s); the Ambulance Station (1922-90s); and other retail uses (1990s-).
The consecutive adaptive reuses of the building leave their mark on the building, which illustrates the changing face of The Rocks since the Colonial times.
