Summary

Waymouth Street, north side, April 28th 1936. This row of houses extends east from Gilles Arcade to a point three yards east of the west side of Young Street. These houses were known as Robe Terrace. A researcher believes there were two sets of these buildings separated by Gilles Arcade. This type of two storey house is reminicient of the terrace houses built in the Midlands in England. The Queens Theatre was directly behind and patrons would use Gilles Arcade to access the pub (now a backpackers) in Waymouth Street at intermission. The Bates and Curtin families lived in these homes and ran shops from them in the late 1850s early 1860s. Marchants was the next property after the most westerly block of Robe Terrace. For new building erected on this site in 1936 see B 7041. For a continuation to the west see B 6865.
