About ANNANDALE

Annandale is a suburb of Inner West Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Annandale is located 5 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the Municipality of Leichhardt. Annandale's northern end lies on Rozelle Bay, which is on Sydney Harbour. Glebe lies to its east, Leichhardt to its west and Stanmore to its south.

Annandale's main street, Johnston Street, is notable for being the first 30m wide street in Sydney. The street was completed in 1888. Located on this street is the Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church. Constructed in 1885-89, this Gothic revival church's 56m sandstone spire was the tallest in New South Wales for over 100 years, until the 70m twin spires of Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral were completed in 2000. Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church was designed by Cyril and Arthur Blacket, sons of the famous architect Edmund Blacket.

History
Major George Johnston (1764-1823) captained a ship of the First Fleet, which brought convicts to Australia from England. He was granted 100 acres of land in the area around Annandale and Stanmore, which became known as Johnston's Bush. He later renamed it Annandale after his birthplace Annan in Scotland, United Kingdom. His name is remembered in Johnston Street, Johnston Lane, Johnstons Creek and Johnstons Bay. Johnston and his wife Ester Abrahams, one of the convicts on the ship, farmed it with their children. They built a fine residence called Annandale House in 1799, a distance back from Parramatta Road. It was demolished in 1905 but the gatehouse still stands in Johnston Street on the grounds of Annandale Public school. His son Robert inherited the estate but in 1877 sold it to John Young, who was a businessman, architect and mayor.

Landmarks
Goodman's Building, Annandale Council Chambers, Annandale Post Office. The former Beale Piano Factory at Annandale was the first and largest Australian piano manufacturer.
