Millers Point is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
On 30 June 1814 Thomas Miller, a Sergeant in the 73rd Regiment of Foot, received a grant of land from the governor.
[3] In 1833 Governor Bourke granted the Catholic Church land at Millers Point for the construction of a school house that could serve as a chapel on Sundays.
The Colonial Architect, Ambrose Hallen in consultation with Bishop Ullathorne, designed the school building which was completed by May 1835.
Two separate pubs in the area claim to be Sydney's oldest surviving pubs, the Lord Nelson (built in about 1836, but modified since[4]) at Millers Point and the Fortune of War (which was built in its current form in 1922, although a hotel was operating on the site in 1830[8]) nearby at The Rocks.
