 Macquarie Street, Sydney
Macquarie Street, running north from Queens Square, was Sydney's most popular and most fashionable street, particularly in the second half of the 19th C, when two and three-storey houses in the Italian style, with verandas and views of the Domain and the harbor, were built here.
In Macquarie Street are two relics of the early days of the colony, the Mint and Parliament House, both occupying wings of the old 'Rum Hospital'.
The original track through the bush was named after Governor Macquarie in 1810, and 30 years later it was continued northward to Fort Macquarie, now Bennelong Point, the site of the Opera House.

 Sydney Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macquarie ordered the contractors to remedy these defects but by 1820 the southern wing was deemed particularly unsafe, with reports that some of it had collapsed and had to be rebuilt (Crook 2003: 12).
Governor Macquarie was under pressure, both within the colony and from Lord Bathurst, to utilise part of the General Hospital as a temporary Supreme Court, perhaps while awaiting the construction of the Greenway designed law courts opposite.
Macquarie capitulated and the northern wing (originally designed for the Principal Surgeon) and a portion of the central building were given over to Supreme Court Judge Jeffrey Hart Bent as chambers as well as for a temporary courthouse.

 Lachlan Macquarie
Lachlan Macquarie was born on the tiny island of Ulva, in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland and grew up on the nearby larger island of Mull.
The colony's first military governor (previous holders of the office had all been navy men), Macquarie was able to draw on his experience as a staff officer in the raising and organisation of colonial revenue-measures in this area included the introduction of coinage (1813) and the establishment of the colony's first bank (1817).
Macquarie's resignation was accepted in 1821 and he sailed for England in 1822.
