Under the patronage of Governor Lachlan Macquarie, the convict-architect Francis Greenway designed several notable buildings in Sydney during the early 19th century. His work is recognized for its fine Georgian style and includes:
- Hyde Park Barracks: Located on Macquarie Street, this structure was built to house convicts and has been scrupulously restored to its original state.1
- St. James Church: Also situated on Macquarie Street, this church remains one of the most significant examples of Greenway's architectural contributions to the city.12
