Waterloo Crescent just off Hampden Road, continues to display the many features of the area it became known for in 1833 when allotments were advertised in the Hobart Town Courier:
“These allotments are situated near Captain Montagu’s new mansion, and are … contiguous to the new Wharf and Macquarie Street: For the family military man, whose corps may be in barracks, for the public officers confined to office all day, or the busy merchant whose worrying toil requires peace and recreation in the bosom of his family, the situation … cannot be equalled … [with] enchanting scenery, which those to whom the spot is not familiar, can only picture in a fairy land, commanding a view of the Derwent almost to the heads, yet sheltered from the sea breeze; the woodland scenery is diversified by so much of the hill and dale, aided by distant mountain scenery reminding the beholder of all the beauty and wildness of Switzerland … The residences of the neighbourhood are of the respectable, some of the most respectable!”
The attributes of respectability were particularly appealing to Hobart’s mainly convict population at the time. Fusilier Cottage on the corner of Hampden Road and Waterloo Crescent is a fine example of Georgian bluestone and sandstone architecture, constructed in 1838 by Angus McLeod, bandmaster of the 21st Royal Scots Fusiliers Regiment.
