Collins, David, 1754-1810

"An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales, Volume 2"

)
Began the foundation of a church at Sydney, but of larger dimensions.
Built a tower steeple at the same place for a town clock; and some time
afterwards, having been much damaged by the same storm that injured the
wind-mill, it was repaired at the south angle, and the whole made good
with plaster, and coated with lime.
Built an apartment of brick in the yard of the old gaol, before it was
burnt, for debtors, containing three rooms.
Paled in a naval yard on the west side of the cove, and erected within it
a joiner's and a blacksmith's shop, with sheds for the vessels while
repairing, and for the workmen; with a steamer, a storehouse, a warder's
lodge, and an apartment for the clerk.
Build a commodious stone-house, near the naval yard, for the master
boat-builder.
Began and nearly finished a handsome and commodious stone gaol at Sydney;
with separate apartments for debtors, and six strong and secure cells for
condemned felons.
A large and elegant government house was erected at Parramatta, the first
being too small, and the framing so much gone to decay that the roof fell
in.
