St Kilda Cottage and Hadley Private School


St Kilda Cottage, later Hadleigh or Hadley

Hadley Private School
Beppo Street
c.1910
A semi-detached, National Trust classified building located at 21-23 Beppo Street Goulburn. The central portion was built in 1862 as a private residence by Rev Puddicombe, later Archdeacon at St Saviour’s Cathedral Goulburn. Of Flemish bond brick, with stone quoins and sills and with stone stables in the rear, the building is of simple Victorian Gothic style. Additions to the east and west occurred around 1879 by Archdeacon PCK Rowe. In 1892, it was the residence of CL Swanston whose daughter Maud married Mr F Zouch Moriarty in October of that year.

The building came into use as a school under Miss AH Studdy in 1898. In 1905, Mrs Anderson changed the name to Hadleigh. In 1944 the building was listed as part of the estate of M & E Anderson.
