One of Balmain's many notable historic buildings, the Watch House, is Sydney’s oldest surviving lockup (1854). It now operates on Saturdays (combine it with the nearby market) as a small space for temporary exhibitions. It was built by Edmund Blacket, the architect best known for St Andrew's Cathedral and the University of Sydney quadrangle.
