Simmons Hardware Store

Simmons Hardware Store, located at 226 George Street in Windsor, New South Wales, is a heritage-listed building that showcases early Victorian architecture. Built in the mid-19th century, it originally served as a general store run by local businessman Peter O'Hara. The store survived a devastating fire in 1874, which destroyed much of Windsor, and has since been restored while retaining its historical charm. Visitors can admire its distinctive sandstock brick construction, gable end walls, and unique verandah design. The building's facade features historic advertising signage, adding to its character. It was officially recognized for its heritage significance in 1999, making it an intriguing stop for tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
