It now forms an important element of the historic streetscape. Ownership passed from the Trust to the Department of Housing in 1986. The shops were threatened with sale to private developers in 1988, but were saved in 1990 after a two-year community campaign. The campaign also resulted in an agreement whereby the City of Sydney leased the shops from the Department, with the council pledging to ensure they were kept as service stores for the local community.https://www.newspapers.com/image/121570565/?terms=%22argyle%2Bplace%22%2B%22millers%2Bpoint%22 Deal saves historic shops The Sydney Morning Herald 13 September 1990 1 December 2018 However, they were eventually put up for sale by the state government in 2006 and sold soon after.Retelling of the Millers tale Sun Herald 28 May 2006 Description 170px 1–7 Argyle Place, pictured in 2019 (left) and 2012 (right).
