Burdekin House

Macquarie Street in Sydney must surely rate as a strong contender for
the title of Australia's most historic street. On the east side the
north and south wings of Governor Macquarie's Rum Hospital, built in
1810-16, are still standing; one houses a section of the New South
Wales Parliament, while the other, which also saw service as a branch
of the Royal Mint, has been restored for use as a museum. Immediately
beside the Mint building is Greenway's convict barracks, a masterpiece
of Georgian architecture that has also, in recent years, undergone
restoration.

Opposite the barracks, on the west side of Macquarie Street, is
another Greenway building, the elegant St James' Church. Macquarie
Street was little more than a dray track at the time of Macquarie's
arrival in 1810. It wound from the settlement, past Arthur Phillip's
much maligned Government House, and continued along the area of high
ground known as the Farm Cove Ridge. Jt skirted the town common that
would later become Hyde Park, continued to what is now Oxford Street
and meandered on to the south headland. As the colony grew in size and
confidence under Governor Macquarie, the mean thoroughfares of the
earliest days fell under the governor's stringent town planning
orders.

Streets were named in honour of the previous governors (Phillip,
Hunter, King and Bligh), prominent members of the colonial
administration (Bent for the judge-advocate, O'Connell for the
lieutenant-governor), and the Crown and the peerage (George, York,
Kent, Clarence and Sussex). It seems appropriate that one of the
principal streets should bear Macquarie's name. While the main areas
of commerce were George and Pitt Streets, Macquarie Street came to
cater for both the outflow of commercial prosperity and the opposite
end of the social class-the convicts. The western side of Macquarie
Street became a favoured site for the homes of the colony's fine
gentlemen and their families. But on this side very little remains of
the street's colonial character.

The most famous of the residences, Burdekin House, was demolished in
1933. Erected in 1841 for merchant and ironmonger, Thomas Burdekin, it
passed on his death in 1844 to his wife and children, two of whom,
Marshall and Sydney, built successful political careers in the colony.
The house remained in the family until the early 1920s and was later
purchased by the trustees of St Stephen's as the site for a new
church, the old one having been demolished to make way for the
extension of Martin Place. Thomas Burdekin arrived in Sydney in 1831
and established himself as a merchant. His business expanded rapidly,
taking over the George Street dealings of John T. Wilson in 1836,which
two years later began operating as the Australian branch of Burdekin
and Hawley, ironmongers and general merchants of London.

Thomas's partners were his brother Benjamin and Alfred Hawley. The
business was most successful and over the next decade Thomas acquired
considerable land holdings in Sydney and other parts of the colony. In
1832 he married Mary-Ann Bossley, of Derbyshire, England, to whom he
had been engaged before his departure. She came to Australia
accompanied by her brother, Dr John B. Bossley, who, by 1836, was
operating as a chemist and druggist at 18 Pitt Street. He published
large advertisements in the Sydney press extolling the wide selection
of his goods, from patent medicines and medical instruments to tea and
groceries, as well as "Mercurial Ointment for Sheep Manufactured by
Steam-Bottled Soda Water-Horse and Cattle Medicines prepared with
Genuine Articles, and on the shortest notice".

Bossley headed the family land empire that today is commemorated in
the Sydney suburb of Bossley Park. Thomas Burdekin quietly amassed a
large fortune from the operation of Burdekin and Hawley in Australia.
In early1840 he was behind moves to establish an insurance society
operated on the mutual principle (at a public meeting for this
purpose, he revealed that he had paid over £10,000 in insurance since
his arrival in the colony) and by June was chairman of directors of
the Mutual Fire Insurance Association. He served on the Sydney
Municipal Council as an alderman and also supported the election of
Robert Campbell Junior, of Bligh Street, as a candidate for the
council. In 1842 he took over the activities of the Melbourne merchant
house H. W. Mason and extended the business as far as Hobart.

The combined proceeds of his undertakings gave him a more than
comfortable living. By the late 1830s he was looking for a suitable
site to establish a family mansion and selected one on the west side
of Macquarie Street. The Australian of 11 July 1840 notified that
allotment number nine of Section 41, the grant previously in the name
of Christopher Crane, was to be transferred to a new owner. Crane was
licensee of the inn known as the Leather Bottle from the early 1830s
through the 1840s. He had originally advertised the sale of the
Macquarie Street site in October 1839, mentioning that he had owned it
since 1823.The architect of Burdekin's mansion is unknown and the
names of John Verge and James Hume have been discussed with equal
gravity. Modern opinion goes in the direction of Hume, who is known to
have supervised construction, but it is more probable that the design
came from England. G. Nesta Griffiths in Some Houses and People of New
South Wales states that "It was designed by an English architect whose
name is unknown, as most of the family papers were lost in a fire, but
its counterpart graces Belgrave Square, and it was a typical London
house."

The interior of Burdekin House did nothing to suggest Verge, and
although the pattern-book appearance of the exterior did have certain
echoes of this great architect's style, there is nothing which would
decide the issue completely. So little is known of Hume and his work
that he might be singled out only because he was in the right place at
the right time. The building of grand houses such as Thomas Burdekin's
was a source of great satisfaction in the colony, marking for many a
new maturity. The Australian of 15 July 1841 professed itself glad
that notwithstanding the Building Act, and the high prices of labour
and materials, the hovels which have long been eye sores in many of
our best streets, are rapidly disappearing and substantial and
comfortable houses are being erected on the ground formerly occupied
by them.

In all parts of the town fine English-looking houses have sprung up
in great numbers, and those who have been absent from Sydney for even
one or two years only, are surprised at the change which has taken
place. One of the finest buildings in Sydney is the house, now nearly
finished, which has been built by Mr Burdekin, in Macquarie-street,
and which would not disgrace any square in London. We are glad too to
perceive that many of the fences which formerly extended far into the
footpath of George-street, have been removed further back, thus giving
a more regular appearance to the street. All that is wanting is a
general lighting with gas, and we hope that it will not be too long
before this takes place.

The Sydney Morning Herald of 30 August 1841 also turned its attention
to Thomas Burdekin's mansion: Mr Burdekin's new house in
Macquarie-street, is now so far completed as to enable us to pronounce
it the most handsome house in Sydney. It is built in the style of many
of town mansions at the west end of the town, and to no part of London
would it do discredit. It is exactly opposite the Council Chamber and
those who have not yet seen it would do well to take a walk for the
purpose of having a look at it. The house was one of pure Georgian
simplicity. It stood three storeys high, although with the fall of the
land at the rear, there was also sufficient space for a basement. The
entrance from the street was through a beautiful panelled door overset
by an oval lunette.

The main hallway extended from the front to the rear, a length of
over 12 metres, evenly dividing the house. To the left on entering was
the dining room, measuring 9 metres long and 6 metres wide with a
servery at the rear. Through the dining room, and hard against the
sidewall, was a long, narrow study. To the right of the central
hallway was a double drawing room 6 metres wide and running the full
depth of the house and then, to balance the study, a library. French
doors from the study and the library opened on to the front and rear
verandas on the ground floor. The veranda along the front was
supported by fluted wooden columns and caps painted to match the faced
stonework. The first floor was reached by a cedar staircase at the
rear of the hall. There were six bedrooms on the first floor, together
with bathrooms, a smoking room and sewing room. The intended first
floor front balcony was never built, but a rear balcony served those
connecting bedrooms. The second floor was arranged as the first and
was given over mainly to servants' accommodation.' The stonework of
the fireplaces was white onyx and cedar was the predominant wood,
except for the floorboards, which were Baltic pine. While there was
more than a suggestion of Engish townhouse in the building's exterior,
the style of the interior came from the opposite side of the Channel.

It was said that the drawing rooms were presented in the finest
examples of the Louis XIV style then available and even the furniture
was specially imported to complement the style. At the rear of the
house were the stabling enclosures and further accommodation for the
servants. In later years the growth of the city diminished this area,
although at the time of demolition the rear yard was still over 17
metres deep. The carriage entrance was along the southern boundary,
between the house and a single-storey lodge. Thomas Burdekin's luck in
business did not follow him in the building of his mansion.

The events of the next few years are recounted by a somewhat hostile
witness, J. C. Byrne, who in Twelve Years Wanderings in the British
Colonies from 1835to 1847, published in London in 1848, tells the
following story:

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

SYDNEY, October 2.
The most disastrous fire ever known in the
Australasian colonies occurred in Sydney to-
day.

The fire was first discovered, about half
past 2 this morning, on the premises of Messrs.
Gibbs, Shallard, and Co., printers and lithographers,
who occupied a large five-story
building, situated in Hoskins-lane, which runs
between Pitt-street and Castlereagh-street, not
far from the General Post Office. Information
was at once sent to the head station of the
Metropolitan Brigade, and in a very short time
Superintendent Bear, with all the permanent
men and appliances, was on the scene.
The fire had spread so rapidly, however, that
despite the prompt manner in which the
brigades responded to the call, it was soon
apparent that the whole of the block of
buildings in which the fire originated was
doomed, while there seemed every possibility of
the conflagration spreading to alarming dimen-
sions. The water supply was not particularly
good and Superintendent Bear, recognising the
danger of the flames spreading, issued orders
for summoning all the suburban brigades.
The volunteer firemen turned out readily, and
there were soon between 150 and 200 firemen
present with all their appliances. The morning
fortunately was quiet, and scarcely a breath of
wind stirred, but the terrible draught created
by the huge fire carried the flames in a
northerly direction, and the windows of the
Athenaeum Club were soon alight. Every effort
was made at this stage to check the fire,
but so intense was the heat and so dense the
smoke that the firemen were compelled to retreat
from Hoskins-lane, which was the only
spot where effective work could be done.
The flames gradually gained a hold on the
Athenaeum Club, and spreading from there to
the Northern Club, threatened to clear the block
down to Hunter-street. At this time, however,
a southerly breeze arose and carried the
flames in the opposite direction. Messrs. Lark
and Sons' and Messrs. Feldheim, Gotthelf, and
Co.'s establishments, a large four-story ware-
house situated in Moore-street, between Pitt
and Castlereagh-streets, was the next to catch,
and from there the flames speedily made then
way to Henry Bull and Co.'s wholesale ware-
house, Lawson Bros.' furniture warehuse, and
Richardson and Wrench's auctionrooms.

A TERRIBLE SIGHT

The Fire Brigades were fighting the flames
with great determination and vigour, but were
twice obliged to retreat by the heat and
smoke, and lost about £500 worth of plant
which they could not get away in time. The
fire then raged at its height, and from a
spectacular point of view has never been
equalled. The flames extended high in the
air, lighting up the neighbourhood so brilliantly
that the immense crowd of spectators, who
despite the very early hour had turned out,
were obliged to shield their eyes from the
glare, and shelter their faces from the enormous
heat.

At brief intervals a roof or floor would
collapse with a tremendous noise, and freer
vent being given to the flames they leaped up-
wards higher than ever. The fire brigades
were almost powerless. Six steam fire engines
were working their hardest, and numerous
hydrants had been got to play on the flames,
but so fierce had the conflagration now become
that all their efforts were little better than
useless. The firemen had to face the fire on
four sides, and so little was the impression
they could make upon its progress that it seemed
as if the whole block was doomed.
To give an idea of the rapidity with which
the flames spread, it may be mentioned that
Mr William Neill, manager of the City Bank,
and some of the members of his family, who
resided on the premises, were standing on the
roof watching the fire soon after its outbreak,
and when the wind veered round and carried
the flames in their direction, they had barely
time to make their escape before the bank was
on fire.

TEN FIREMEN BENEATH THE RUINS

After the fire had been burning about half-an-
hour the walls commenced to collapse all
round. Messrs Gibbs, Shallard and Co.'s
premises were the first to fall, then the back
wall of the Athenaeum Club came down and
buried no less than ten firemen in the debris.
Their comrades went at once to their assis-
tance and they were all extricated alive,
though several of them were severely bruised
and badly burnt. The western wall of Messrs.
Lark and Sons' premises soon afterwards col-
lapsed and brought down a considerable por-
tion of the rear of the City Bank; then the front
part came away, and carried the fire across the
street to Starkey's cordial manufactory, the
roof of which was partially burnt off.

INTOXICATION AND DISORDER

At this stage some most disgraceful scenes
were enacted at the fire. Many of the firemen
obtained liquor from the cellars and bars of the
clubs and became so intoxicated that they were
not only useless, but a hindrance to the other
men at work. Superintendent Bear dealt with
them rigorously whenever a case came under
his notice but unfortunately many of them
escaped his observance, and did much damage
to the adjoining properties by reckless use of
the hose. The crowd also interfered so much
with the work of the firemen that it was
considered advisable to call out the Permanent
Artillery, and the men were drawn up across
the street, and kept back the too curious spec-
tators until permanent barricades could be
erected.

EXTENT OF THE DEVASTATION.

About 6 o'clock the fire began to show signs
of abatement and a few hours afterwards all
danger of its spreading any further was at an
end. By that time, however, fully two acres
of handsome buildings had been reduced to
ruins, and all their valuable contents destroyed.
The debris continued to smoulder all day
long and at a late hour to-night was still
burning. Several other walls have collapsed,
and it is feared that before the morning more
will have come down. Street traffic in Pitt
and Castlereagh streets is completely blocked
and will have to continue so till the more dan-
gerous of the walls are demolished.

CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

The cause of the fire is a complete mystery.
There was nothing particularly flammable in
Messrs. Gibbs, Shallard, and Co.'s establish-
ment, and when the place was locked up last
night, there was no sign of fire.

A rumour was current that a large quantity
of fireworks had been stored on the premises,
but this originated from the fact that the firm
are agents for Messrs. Brock and Co. All the
fireworks are, however, stored in a specially
constructed building at Ashfield.
The fire was first noticed in the fourth
story of Gibbs, Shallard and Co.'s premi-
ses, which is used as a machine-room.
The flames were seen to move with
extraordinary rapidity up and down the lift
shaft, and within a few moments the whole
place was a mass of flames.

The total amount of damage is estimated at
between £700,000 and £800,000. The insu-
rances will probably amount to £500,000.

THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OPINION.

Superintendent Bear states that he is not
surprised at the manner in which the fire
spread, and considers it exceedingly fortunate
that it did not destroy more property. He
says that the present force is altogether
inadequate to cope with a serious fire,
and though the amateur firemen are
willing enough their zeal often outruns their
discretion. In reply to his complaint that the
water supply was deficient, an official report
has been issued, which states that the
pressure in mains is always 50lb. to the
square inch, and should have been more at the
early hour at which the fire occurred.

THE INJURED MEN.

The following are the names of the firemen
who were injured by the falling of the wall at
the rear of the Athenaeun Club: - Ben-
jamin Morris and Colley, of the Metro-
politan Brigade, and Arthur Mount
Stephens and William Rigby of the
Waverley and Ashfield brigades respectively,
not seriously injured; Ephraim Stoneham,
captain of the Waverley Brigade; George Dodd
and Thomas Cutts, of the Metropolitan
Brigade, were also treated for burns and contu-
sions; and Jas. Cable, George Cook, and Geo.
Cobb were hurt, but their injuries did not
necessitate then being taken to the hospital.
LIST OF BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
The area covered by the conflagration
extends from Gibbs, Shallard, and Co.'s
entrance to Pitt-street, along Pitt-street to the
corner of Moore-street, thence along Moore-
street nearly the whole way through that
thoroughfare to Castlereagh-street, and thence
as far as the City Mutual Life Insurance
Society's premises.

A tour round this block revealed the build-
ings which have suffered to be the following: -
City Bank, Pitt and Moore streets. - Front
and southern stone walls standing almost
perfect; rear and inside walls much damaged;
front office flooded; the superb ceiling and
walls damaged by water; the manager's quar-

LOSSES AND INSURANCES.

Later.
Messrs. Gibbs, Shallard, and Co., Henry
Bull and Co., Young and Lark, and Feldheim,
Gotthelf, and Co. have lost everything,
including their books and business papers.
The strongroom at the City Bank was not
injured, and all the securities, etc., have been
transferred to temporary offices which have
been taken higher up the street. Messrs.
Richardson and Wrench, auctioneers, have
saved their books and some of their records,
but a large number of plans belonging to
clients and some valuable memoranda col-
lected in the many years during which the
firm have been in business were destroyed.
As Mr. Wrench explains, these documents,
though having no market value, were
invaluable to him.

The following are the insurances effected on
the various places:- Gibbs, Shallard, and Co.,
£32,750; Henry Bull and Co., £146,500; Lark,
Sons, and Co., £104,550; Feldheim, Gotthelf,
and Co., £88,800; City Bank, £20,000;
Richardson and Wrench, £10,000 , Taylor and
Sons, £2050; Eldon Chambers, £14,000;
Lazarus, Aronson, £14,300; Southern Club,
£4000; Lawson, furnishing, £9000; Citizens'
Life Insurance Company's office, £5000; total,
£456,550.

AUCKLAND, October 2.
By the great fire in Sydney to-day, the Union
Insurance Company of New Zealand lose
£5500; the South British Company, £5000;
and the National Company, £4000.

RECEIPT OF THE NEWS IN BRISBANE.

The news that a terrible conflagration had
occurred in Sydney began to be known in Bris-
bane at a comparatively early hour yes-
terday, and before the usual time of
publication quite a crowd had gathered
in the vicinity of the Courier Building,
awaiting the issue of the Observer to learn the
details of the catastrophe. Insurance agents
were busily engaged making up lists of the losses
so far as their information enabled them to
do so, and the great fire was the all-
absorbing topic of conversation in every direc-
tion. Our correspondent has not sent us the list
of the insurance offices affected, and the
amounts of their losses; but as will be seen
from our telegram, which is confirmed
by one sent to an insurance agent in
town, the companies will lose altogether
over half-a-million. The total loss is estimated
at £800,000, so that something like £300,000
is uninsured. We are informed that of the
insurances £10,000 were covered by the Sun
Fix this textCompany; £4000 each by the Standard of New
Zealand and the National; and £8000 by the
United Insurance Company.
From the plan which we publish above
a good idea of the position of the fire may
be formed. Those who know Sydney will be best
able to appreciate the vast spread of the fire and
the immense loss it will involve upon the city.
Pitt and Moore streets, where most of the
buildings which are now destroyed stood,
have during the past few years
been almost entirely rebuilt, and formed
one of the finest views of city architec-
ture in Australia. The locality where the fire
occurred is between Moore-street and Hunter-
street, which run parallel between Pitt-street
and Castlereagh-street. The City Bank, which
has been destroyed, was one of the finest banking
buildings in Sydney, and stood on the corner
of Pitt and Moore streets. It was of freestone,
with a splendid front, and was one of the finest
features in Pitt-street.

Action at Castlereagh Street Fire Station, c 1890
May 26th, 2014 by Lynne McNairn


This image shows the headquarters of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in
Castlereagh Street, Sydney in about 1890. The new central fire station
was opened in 1888. The design by Colonial Architect, James Barnett
was innovative for its time and included features drawn from the
experiences of the London Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The watch room on
the ground floor included a telephone exchange board, fire alarms and
electrical system. When the watchman pulled the electrical contact,
bells rang throughout the building, gas lamps were turned up in the
engine bay, the stable doors were opened by means of springs and two
flaps opened in the floor of to enable firefighters to slide down a
pole!

In the foreground is a wonderful horse drawn ladder designed to reach
fires and rescue people trapped in tall city buildings. The second
vehicle is a horse drawn steam pump which attached to a fire hydrant
to provide water to douse the flames.

The City of Sydney Fire Station remains a rare example of Victorian
free classical architecture and was restored in 2003.
