Annandale is a suburb of Sydney, Australia, located in the Inner West; Glebe lies to its east, Leichhardt to its west, Stanmore to its south and its northern end terminates at the back of Blackwattle Bay, part of Sydney Harbour. Annandale is part of the Municipality of Leichhardt.
Annandale's main street, Johnston Street, is notable for being the first 30m wide street in Sydney. The street was completed in 1888. Located on this street is the 56m tall Hunter Baillie Presbyterian Church. Constructed in 1888-89, this Gothic revival church was the tallest church in New South Wales for over 100 years until the 70m twin spires of Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral were completed in 2000. Hunter Baillie Presbyterian Church was designed by famous architect Edmund Blacket and his sons Cyril and Arthur Blacket.
