A visit to Susannah Place is like opening a family album – the stories inside could belong to anyone, in any part of the world. They are ordinary lives, yet lives that have left an extraordinary legacy in modern Sydney’s oldest neighborhood. Located in the heart of The Rocks, Susannah Place is a terrace of four houses built by Irish immigrants in 1844. For nearly 150 years these small houses with tiny backyards, basement kitchens, and outside wash houses were home to more than 100 families. Against a backdrop of the working harbor and growing city, their everyday lives played out.
Remarkably, Susannah Place survived largely unchanged through the slum clearances and redevelopments of the past century, and today tells the stories of the people and families who called this place and this neighborhood home. Many working-class families lived in The Rocks, with tiny backyards, outdoor baths, and the occasional rat plague. Susannah Place has been home to more than 100 families throughout history. Learn their stories in this original terrace of four houses that has survived modern development. Don't forget to pick up a unique souvenir at the delightfully re-created 1915 corner shop.
