'Rose Hall' was the house of the Town Surveyor (1827-1832) and Colonial Architect (1832-1835), Ambrose Hallen ( adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hallen-ambrose-2147 ). He designed 'Rose Hall' himself. - www.dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/darlinghurst During the First World War, 'Rose Hall' became the Red Cross Soldiers' Convalescent Home.
It was opened in 1915 ( trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15620768 ) and closed in 1929 when it was sold ( trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16556084 ). There are photos in both articles.

The Sydney Fish Markets (see note) at Woolloomooloo 1871-1892 - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=414289# . Rebuilt in 1893 - www3.photosau.com/cos/scripts/ExtSearch.asp?SearchTerm=02... The Wesleyan Church is 1873, so this photo and the painting are between 1873-93

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pellethepoet http://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia Great 'stumble' to come across this watercolor! And I can see it's the trigger for a possible date, 1873-1893. Always impressed with your research :) AB
