In The Rocks, it’s not unusual for a shop selling modern wares to be housed in a building that is more than 100 years old. During that period, the building may have undergone numerous transformations: the giftshop you see today may once have been a bank, a merchant’s home, or perhaps a popular pub. Before that, other buildings may have stood on the site. By studying historical documents and relics — even, in some cases, interviewing the original occupants’ descendants — historians and archaeologists have pieced together the story of each building and site in The Rocks.
