Historical Architecture 3, The Rocks, Sydney, NSW, Australia

The Rocks was established shortly after the colony's formation in 1788. It was known as Tallawoladah by the Cadigal people.[7] The original buildings were first traditional vernacular houses, of wattle and daub, with thatched roofs, and later of local sandstone, from which the area derives its name.[7] From the earliest history of the settlement, the area had a reputation as a slum and the arriving convicts' side of town, often frequented by visiting sailors and prostitutes.[7] After November 1790, many of the inhabitants were also Aboriginal. In 1823, the district had a population of about 1,200. During the late nineteenth century, the area was dominated by a gang known as the Rocks Push. It maintained this rough reputation until approximately the 1870s.[8][9] —Wikipedia
