About this Property
Samson’s Cottage is a historic building located at 75–75.5 George Street in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia. Built in 1883 for William Cormack, the building has served various purposes over the years, including housing a Chinese laundry, art gallery, and antique shop. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 2002 due to its cultural and historical significance.
The site originally had different owners, including William Samson in the 1840s, who constructed a house and shop. By 1883, the property was redeveloped into a three-storey building with shops on the ground floor and lodging rooms above. The building has been associated with Chinese merchant Hong On Jang, who operated a boarding house for Chinese sojourners in the early 20th century.
Samson’s Cottage is valued for its Victorian architectural style and its role in the urban development of Sydney. It is particularly significant for its connection to the Chinese community and its preservation of rare archaeological findings. The building continues to be an important part of Sydney’s heritage and is recognized for its contribution to the area’s history and culture.
