These buildings included the dwellings now known as the Harbour View Apartments. Completed in 1916, these symmetrically built, semi-detached apartments originally housed personnel that reported to the General Manager of Cockatoo Island’s Naval Dockyard; namely, his personal driver and launch coxswain (the equivalent of a boat chauffer). The General Manager from 1914 to 1920 was Captain Julian James Salter-King, a naval engineer. He oversaw the dockyard during a period of expansion and industrial unrest. The Harbour View Apartments were built in the Federation Arts and Crafts Style and many of their original features are still intact.
