History

A central park and a dominant church give Argyle Place the appearance of a typical London Square. Work on Argyle Place was commenced by Governor Macquarie however, this area was not fully formed until after cessation of quarrying at nearby rockface. First tenanted by the NSW Department of Housing in 1982.[1]
