Susannah Place Museum

Susannah Place is a historic terrace of four houses that showcases Sydney's working-class heritage. Built in 1844 by Irish immigrants, it has been home to over 100 families and provides a rare opportunity to explore domestic working-class life from 1844 to 1990. The museum features modest interiors, rear yards, and a recreated 1915 corner store, offering a glimpse into the lives of the working-class families who lived there. The many layers of paint finishes, wallpapers, and floor coverings that have survived provide valuable insight into the tastes of the working class. The original brick privies and open laundries are some of the earliest surviving washing and sanitary amenities remaining in the city
