Members Hour: Susannah Place
Welcome to Members Hour at Susannah Place.
For the first time in over five years, all four terraces – built by Irish immigrants in 1844 – are open for visitors. A multi-year, once-in-a-generation conservation project was completed last year, delivered by Placemaking NSW in consultation with MHNSW. The works combined traditional techniques with innovative conservation methods, allowing the project team to respond sensitively to the building’s condition.
In this special Members Hour, enjoy a bespoke immersive tour across all four houses, led by our expert onsite storytellers – an experience that is not offered to the general public!
