Hyde Park Barracks is directly related to the history of Sydney when it served more as a convict community. The Barracks was designed by the architect Francis Greenway, an emancipated convict who became well known as one of the premiere Australian architects of his era. This is a three-storied main building that sits in the center of its walled compound. Converted into a museum today, inside the Barracks you can see a cookhouse, bakery, cells and soldiers' quarters located within the walls. The Barracks' was originally meant to house the large working convict population in Sydney. After this building stopped functioning as barracks, its building was used as immigration depot for single female immigrants awaiting a reunion and ultimately as a female asylum.

Functioning as a museum today, its exhibits today educate the visitors about the daily lives of Sydney's convicts through video, photos, artifacts, and much more.
