Goonoobah is an Australian heritage-listed residence in the Hunter region of New South Wales, located at 42 King Street, East Maitland. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
Goonoobah was built between June 1841 and May 1842 for George Furber, the owner of the George and Dragon Hotel.[1][2] A central hallway and main entrance for both Goonoobah and the conjoined and also-heritage listed Woodlands was built in 1896, before both buildings were converted into a complex of three flats in 1930.[3]
Description
Goonoobah is one of two conjoined sandstone cottages in the Victorian Georgian style built on different alignments, with Woodlands set back further from the street. It has a large hipped iron roof and a bullnose verandah with cast-iron fence and columns; and French windows with shutters. There are three large stuccoed chimneys, two with pots.[1][4]
