Number 2, Adam Street

Number 2 Adam Street

Number 2 Adam Street was located on the eastern side of the street, to southern end of the block.

Its first resident from 1771 to 1782 was John Arnold, a clockmaker, who also established his office in the house.

In the nineteenth century it was joined with number 1 Adam Street, and together they were the home of Rev. Vicesimus Knox from 1812-21, followed by his oldest son, also Vicesimus. In 1840-41 numbers 1 and 2 were occupied by the New Zealand Colonisation Company and its secretary John Ward; in 1844 they were the home of William Bridges Adams, an inventor; and in 1899 Sir John Scott, the judicial adviser to the Khedive of Egypt.
