Pulteney Street and Craft Cottage

77 Pulteney Street, Taree, NSW Australia

Vacant land having frontages to Pulteney, High and Wynter Streets (Lots 1 & 2 Section B) was sold to John Joseph Stephens of Taree in 1908.
Later that year, Stephens commissioned Henry Alcorn of “Tunbridge Wells” High Street, to build a substantial brick house on Lot 2 which was leased, on completion, to Dr Stuart Kay, a Sydney University graduate...
Over the years, the property changed hands several times. In 1944 John Francis Bradley purchased the dwelling. He and his family operated a bakery and shop nearby at 85 High Street.

The building is presently occupied by Taree Craft Centre Inc. and has been extended to provide space for a teaching area and café. Following damage caused by a vehicle in July 2017, substantial repairs were undertaken, together with the glazing of the front verandah. The building is a locally listed heritage item.
