Rowe Street Pedestrian Precinct

"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

The plaque commemorates the formal handover of the refurbishment works to the City of Sydney
