Description
My street photography in black and white of some terraced houses in The Rocks area of Sydney city. They are so beautiful and quaint. Many owners have to battle against Council in order to be able to keep their homes, rather than them being torn down for larger developments. I will keep this image as I do think the time will eventually come to tear them down which will be very sad for the owners and the heritage of Sydney.
Terraced houses in Australia refers almost exclusively to Victorian and Edwardian era terrace houses or replicas almost always found in the older, inner city areas of the major cities, mainly Sydney and Melbourne.
Terraced housing was introduced to Australia in the 19th century. Their architectural work was based on those in London and Paris, which had the style a century earlier.
Large numbers of terraced houses were built in the inner suburbs of large Australian cities, particularly Sydney and Melbourne, mainly between the 1850s and the 1890s. The beginning of this period coincided with a population boom caused by the Victorian and New South Wales Gold Rushes of the 1850s and finished with an economic depression in the early 1890s. Detached housing became the popular style of housing in Australia following Federation in 1901.
