Little Lonsdale Street Archives

THE historic Little Lon terraces which last year made headlines when the owners applied to replace the properties with a 30-level apartment tower – have quietly hit the market again.

The adjoining terraces at 120 – 122 Little Lonsdale Street, near the corner of Elizabeth Street, were built in 1854 as part of a row of “Little Lon” buildings that are still standing and also includes a pub.

In the 1850s, and for the century that followed, the precinct was notorious for its seedy underbelly. The easternmost Little Lonsdale Street blocks accommodated at least four brothels run by infamous pimp Madame Brussels.
