Charlottenstraße
Stroll down the historic north end of Charlotte Street, where the origins of Sydney come to life through its most iconic 18th-century residences. You will visit Cossit House (1787), believed to be the oldest house in the city, which offers a vivid look into the domestic life of the colony’s first Anglican minister through period-correct Neo-classical furnishings. Just steps away, explore the Jost House Museum (1786), once the home of a prominent merchant family. This unique building illustrates over 200 years of architectural evolution, featuring a massive basement cooking fireplace with a beehive oven and diverse exhibits ranging from Victorian artifacts to a reconstructed apothecary. Together, these sites provide a fascinating window into the Loyalist roots and mercantile history that built the foundation of Cape Breton
