Millers Point, ablutions block

This heritage sandstone building located on the corner of Towns Place and Hickson Road at Millers Point houses a cafe. Back in the 1850s and 1860s this area around Walsh Bay was the site of Captain Robert Towns’s whaling and trading empire. This building was used as an ablutions block, where wharf labourers could clean up after their day's work.
