1. Leave it as a heritage listed residential dwelling for the benefit of he community. Find someone willing to restore it to its original heritage splendour so that generations to come can enjoy it. Soon we will lack any houses in the parramatta cbd so please consider protecting this as an actual house. I'm sure that this medical consulting faculty could find other premises that are better suited to their purposes without having to alter the use of such a beautiful piece of Parramatta's history.

2. It is important that the heritage of this building be preserved, it was built by David Lennox, in 1854 when he returned from Victoria after travelling down through NSW and Victoria buidking bridges as he went, Australia's Master Bridge Builder, only three of his bridges remain to this day, the sandstone one over Church Street which was altered recently by Parramatta Council to allow pedestrian traffic and bicycles through, this action has ruined the heritage value, one at Landsowne and one at Lapstone. David Lennox is buried in St John's Cemetery in O'Connell Street in Parramatta.

   June M Bullivant OAM has said all there is to say. There is someone out there who could restore this building to it's original glory it is in a prime position for everyone to see. It is a shame it has been neglected. Preserve some of Parramatta's fast disappearing grand history please.

   in my opinion you are incorrect about the council having ruined the heratige value of the Lennox bridge. I am very proud to live in Parramatta , i use a wheelchair for mobility. The council have done an exceptional job in respecting the heritage value of the Lennox Bridge while giving access to the whole community to the beautiful Parramatta river foreshore . I use the modification to the Bridge almost every day and can highly recomend to all , go down and have a look , read the heratige information there. It is something we can all be proud to share with new generations and visitors.
   Thanks Parramatta Council
