Landmarks
Obelisk
At the eastern end of Bathurst Street is an obelisk which was erected in 1857 and unveiled by the Mayor, George Thornton. The monument is actually a sewer vent, and soon the joke around town was to call it 'Thornton’s Scent Bottle'.[2] The obelisk is an example of the Victorian Egyptian style and was based on Cleopatra's Needle in London. It is heritage-listed.[3]
St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney
This cathderal sits on the north-west corner of Bathurst Street and George Street. It was designed by Edmund Blacket and is heritage-listed.[4]
Former Bank of New South Wales
This building sits on the south-west corner of Bathurst Street and George Street. It was designed by Varney Parkes and built in 1894 in the American Romanesque style. It is heritage-listed.[5]
The Vintage Building
The Vintage is situated on the corner of Bathurst and Sussex Streets. It was built in the 1890s and was just one of many warehouses that sprang up in the area because of its proximity to Darling Harbour. It was used as a flour mill while owned by Aitken and Son; later owners included Mungo Scott Ltd. In 1979 it was converted to apartments. It has a state heritage listing.[6]
