Harry Street Stairs

The Harry Street Stairs serve as a rare example of a street that exists entirely as a pedestrian path. While most thoroughfares in the city are designed for vehicles, this route is composed of roughly two hundred and fifty steps that climb the hillside between Laidley Street and Beacon Street. It functions as a vital, if unconventional, thoroughfare for the few houses nestled directly along its wooden landings, which remain completely inaccessible by car.
