Terrace - Harbour Rocks Hotel

The site of the terraces is of historical significance as part of the original hospital garden and of subsequent buildings until the construction of the terraces between 1873-1875. The terrace at 42-52 Harrington Street is of historical significance as part of the 19th century residential building stock of The Rocks.

The terrace has aesthetic significance as it forms part of a strong visual precinct with Nos 42-52 and Nos 55-71 on the other side of the street, and also relates to the buildings at 39-47 Argyle Street. The terrace makes an important contribution to the streetscape and is representative of the terrace housing constructed for the working classes throughout The Rocks area and other parts of Sydney in the late 19th Century.
