Darlinghurst Court House & Old Darlinghurst Gaol
-
Mortimer Lewis designed the central section of this Greek Revival court house in 1844, and James Barnet (see Macquarie Lighthouse) designed the side wings in 1880. The 1841 Old Darlinghurst Gaol behind the court house was also designed by Mortimer Lewis and added to by James Barnet. In its early years, public hangings were conducted inside the gaol. In 1914 it became an internment facility for WWI “enemy aliens”. It’s now the East Sydney TAFE College.
