History

Millers Point is one of the earliest areas of European settlement in Australia, and a focus for maritime activities.^[1]^[2]

82–84 Windmill Street is a Georgian Revival style Victorian townhouse built c. 1860, once the home of naturalist John William Brazier, and also part of the Royal College of Physicians.^[1]^[2]

In 1958 architect John Fisher (member of the Institute of Architects, the Cumberland County Council Historic Buildings Committee and on the first Council of the National Trust of Australia (NSW) after its reformation in 1960), with the help of artist Cedric Flower, convinced Taubmans to paint the central bungalow at 50 Argyle Place. This drew attention to the importance of The Rocks for the first time. As a result, Fisher was able to negotiate leases for Bligh House (later Clydebank) and houses in Windmill Street for various medical societies.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In 1971, a 20-year lease was granted by the City of Sydney for the use of premises at 82 Windmill Street to the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia. In 1974 a lease to the College was granted by the City over 84 Windmill Street. The College renovated both buildings and use them as offices until 1984 when the College purchased Durham Hall in Surry Hills and relocated to that property.^[4]
