Craft Cottage

77 Pulteney Street, Taree, NSW Australia

John Joseph Stephens of Taree bought land in Pulteney Street in 1908,
then commissioned Henry Alcorn of “Tunbridge Wells” High Street, to build a substantial brick house… The building is presently occupied by Taree Craft Centre Inc. and has been extended to provide space for a teaching
area and café…
The building is a locally listed heritage item.

We visited recently, for brunch at the cafe. Very enjoyable. Staffed by friendly volunteers.
Interesting craftwork, especially the woodwork, all created by local artists.

Yes. Pulteney Street in Taree is named after the same British historical figure as Great Pulteney Street in Bath, Somerset. Wikipedia
Both streets ultimately trace their names back to Sir William Pulteney (1729–1805), a wealthy English politician, major landowner, and the developer of the Georgian "new town" across the River Avon in Bath. While local town planner Henry Flett laid out Taree as a private township around 1854, he drew inspiration from British names for the new streets along the Manning River.

The woodwork on the house looks nicely Victorian! It's interesting to see so many European placenames turn up elsewhere, they usaully show where the settlers originally came from.

Yes. I love to find out the history of any interesting buildings. Plenty of historical buildings in Melbourne and Sydney, not so much in the regional towns. Taree has a fair number.
