66–68 Bettington Street is a heritage-listed Edwardian terrace house located at 66–68 Bettington Street, in the inner city Sydney suburb of Millers Point in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
Millers Point is one of the earliest areas of European settlement in Australia, and a focus for maritime activities. An 1885 Trig. survey shows an earlier single residence with front verandah on this site. 1900 Resumption plans show vacant site owned by Bridget Carinan. The pair of Edwardian terraces built here soon after, and today they are mostly intact. They were first tenanted by NSW Department of Housing in 1986.[1]
The Tenants' Union of NSW occupied 68 Bettington Street on a peppercorn rent with the Department of Housing from April 1988 until at least 1999.[2]
