Best Answer

The earliest convicts lived in tents and rough huts built from local timber, and later, stone buildings were constructed. Many convicts were sent to work for farmers and free settlers, and these people would provide their accommodation.

From the 1820s, women convicts were housed at the Female Factory in Parramatta. This was a high, draughty, two-storey brick building.
