Hyde Park Barracks - Convict Life 16

Purpose built to house convicts transported from Britain and built between 1817 and 1819. The colonial and ex-convict architect Francis Greenway was commissioned by Governor Lauchlan Macquarie to build many other public buildings, many of which still stand today.

Transporting convicts from Britain was finally abolished in 1848, when the building was used to house single females who recently arrived as free settlers.
