"This is the site of old Rowe Street, a busy narrow thoroughfare with small shops that pioneered design, fashion and the arts in Sydney until the early 1970`s. The street was named after 19th century Sydney architect, Thomas Rowe. It was part of the original land grant to Joseph Wyatt of 1836." - Rowe Street History Group
The refurbishment of the Rowe Street Pedestrian Precinct has been possible through the generosity of Tony and Melinda Cheng
