19 Waterloo Street House / SJB

closed

Text description provided by the architects.19 Waterloo Street is buried amongst the chaos of warehouses and terraces that once served Sydney's rag trade. A corner terrace with decades of architectural detritus had engulfed the site with a never-ending cascade of additions and lean-to's with the odd weed surviving between the cracks of the concrete path. As a butchers, a grocer, a window workshop, a hatter and finally a restaurant, each with the attached rooms above, the original building had had a checkered past.
