Marrickville
Premier Street
Main Period: Victorian- Federation - Interwar
Leadlight apparent at No’s 23, 25, 33, 47, 49, 61 61A & 92.
Premier Street was created as part of the Warren Estate subdivision of 1884 where lots on the southern side of the street went up for auction. Lots on the northern side of the street were part of ‘The Warren: Marrickville’ circa. 1892. Lots on the southern side between Mansion Street and MGowan Avenue were created when the Warren itself was demolished in 1919 to make way for further subdivision.
It appears that only a few houses were initially built in the 1880’s & 90’s because there are houses from the late Victorian period through to the Interwar years when Californian bungalows prevailed.
