[1] The Glover cottages are located on an artificial rock shelf on the east side of Kent Street.

Ewen later sold the property to Thomas Glover, a publican whose activities were centred on Cumberland Street in The Rocks.

They are regarded as being of historical significance as a quality building constructed before the formal granting of the land.

The cottages evidence the pattern of development of Millers Point prior to the formal layout of the streets where vernacular cottages were built on rock ledges, and are evidence of the process of land subdivision prior to the formal granting of titles.

The cottages also indicate the standard of building that survived the post plague demolitions and represents the role of the Sydney Harbour Trust, later the MSB in providing housing for its workers.On 21 March the cottages were listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate.
