Information About

An architectural drawing showing the two-storey Caldwell's House at 30, Victoria Street. The house was designed by Mr. George Dromgold Coleman, a civil architect and later Superintendent of Public Works, Land Surveyor and Overseer of Convict Labour, between 1840 and 1841 for Mr. H.C. Caldwell, a senior clerk to the Magistrates. It later became part of the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus when Caldwell sold it to a French priest, Father Jean-Marie Beurel (b.1813-d.1872) in August 1852. On 26 October 1990, the Preservation of Monuments Board gazetted the building as a national monument.
