The Sydney Mint (pictured) in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, is the oldest surviving public building in the Sydney central business district. Built between 1811 and 1816 as the southern wing of the Sydney Hospital, it was then known as the Rum Hospital. In 1854 a mint was established on the site, with the hospital building used to house mint staff and provide a residence for the Deputy Mint Master. Museums of History NSW is seeking proposals from contractors to provide Verandah Conservation works for the building.
