Description
This single-storey weatherboard cottage at 91 Campbell Street, Surry Hills, was on the corner of Macquarie Street (later widened and renamed Commonwealth Street). The front and side of the building is covered with newspaper advertising signs. The same building was documented in 1900 by John Degotardi as part of response to the outbreak of bubonic plague.

Description
This single-storey timber cottage with a shingled roof was on the corner of Campbell and East streets in Surry Hills. The street address was 98 Campbell Street in 1888; it is likely the street was renumbered and that this was 110 Campbell Street by 1901. A set of white washed stone stairs leads to the front door. A tall timber paling fence surrounds the dwelling, and there is a street sign for East Street just behind the fence line. East Street was a continuation of Smith Street. Two children sit on the kerb in front, and a woman stands at far right. (Reference: Rygate & West, Plans of Sydney, 1888: Sheet 21, City of Sydney Archives, A-00880434, https://archives.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/nodes/view/1709361).

Description
This single-storey brick cottage, with a timber addition at the front and a patched shingle roof, was on the corner of Campbell and Smith streets in Surry Hills. A standard gas lamp on the street has Smith Street and Campbell Street written on it. A steeply pitched timber gable looming over the cottage may have been the rear gable of St Simon and St Judes Church on East Street. East Street was a continuation of Smith Street. Both streets disappeared in the Brisbane Street Resumption No 2. A high wooden fence surrounds the unusual shaped block. The street address in 1888 was 100 Campbell Street. The street number above the front door is 112, which suggests that Campbell Street was renumbered between 1888 and 1901.
