Heritage Building Restoration – The Fortune of War, Sydney

Platinum Painting was proud to be entrusted with the restoration of the Fortune of War—Sydney’s oldest pub, established in 1828 and now a heritage-listed landmark in the heart of the Rocks precinct.

This intricate heritage building restoration project required precise coordination. Our team worked around tight CBD foot traffic, complied with strict council and heritage regulations, and completed the work during night shifts to meet tight deadlines.

In partnership with the National Heritage Trust, we faithfully restored the building’s exterior to its original Federation-era style. Our scope included:

• Installing new roof shingles

• Refurbishing metalwork and original windows

• Replacing gutters and downpipes

• Meticulously cleaning and preserving the historic sandstone façade

The result ensures that the Fortune of War remains a proud, iconic piece of Sydney’s history for future generations to enjoy.
