Captain Andrew Haig built this Greek Revival townhouse between 1835 and 1840, funded by profits from the East India Company's opium and China Trade. He went bankrupt two years after moving in. The collection assembled by Battery Point residents in 1955 — Australia's first folk museum — reflects that same mercantile world: porcelain, textiles, maritime objects, all threaded back to Salamanca Place's earliest warehouses, two of which Haig also built.
