32 Harrington Street is a heritage-listed retail building and former residence located at 32 Harrington Street in the inner city Sydney suburb of The Rocks in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was built for William Reynolds, a blacksmith, in 1834. The property is owned by Property NSW, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 10 May 2002.[1]

History

William Reynolds arrived in Sydney from Dublin in 1817 under life sentence. A blacksmith by trade he had received his "Ticket of Leave" prior to 1826, when permission was given for his marriage to Ann Clarke; a conditional pardon was granted in 1835. In October 1830 Reynolds purchased the land from Thomas Ryan. The shop and residence was built by Reynolds by 1834.

The Reynolds had occupied the premises in Harrington Street since the 1830s, however, it was not until 1838 that the land title was officially gazetted. Following the death of William Reynolds on April 1841, his land and properties passed to his children. The executor of Reynolds will was Michael Gannon, the licensee of the New York Hotel on the corner of Argyle and Harrington Streets. It is clear from Harper's Plan of 1822 that no structures had been erected on the site now represented by Nos. 28 to 32 Harrington Street. Robert Russell's survey of Sydney in 1834 clearly indicates the presence of three distinct buildings on the site being Allotment 2. Nos. 28-30 being constructed of dressed sandstone with a shingled roof, evidence of which can be seen under the present iron one.
