Old Mill House

The Old Mill House, which stands on the site of the Marrickville Metro shopping centre, was built in 1864 for a German immigrant who established a tannery in the area. The house, one of the oldest in Marrickville, is a rare example of a domestic revival timber building.

William Vicars established a woollen mill on the site in 1893 and occupied the house soon after. These days the house functions as the administrative centre for the shopping centre. 

Thanks for hosting on this rainy Sydney day, Bob.
