Gannon House & Shop

45 Argyle St
The Rocks, NSW 2000

The site is associated with early land squabbles over tenure of property, and with a major early manipulator of land holdings, F W Unwin.The current building at 45-47 Argyle Street, known as Gannon's House & Shop is the original building constructed in c1840. It is associated with the Gannon family who lived there briefly, and with a later landowner, William Yeoman who became a large contractor who built a substantial store at the rear of the building.

As the area declined in status and Gannon's house became a boarding house it became associated with the transitory nature of the population of this dock-side community.It is possible that the antiquated interior joinery came from Greenway's house which was demolished shortly before Gannon House was built.
