Old Elizabeth Street and its early builders
Elizabeth Street's development traces back to 181 governor Macquarie's 27 October announcement of four new streets. Grants to Josephson and Prout shaped land use, with later owners including Mary Roberts. The area, once social hub with the Three Tuns inn and dancing academy, evolved into the Rural Bank site, as stories of early residents like Richard Windeyer and Mary Roberts illustrate a city’s commercial and social transformation.
