Architecture

Article and photographs by Sally Patfield.

Over the past few years, there has been a notable cultural rebirth in Maitland. There is now a vast array of festivals, performances and many other arts-related events occurring throughout each year that attract not only the locals, but also a large quantity of tourists.

Steeped in history, there are architectural marvels everywhere you look in and around the Maitland Heritage Mall. The court house remains from the late 1800s, whilst the post office and town hall, all in High Street, are other notable buildings that have remained intact over the years.

What is unique about Hunter's architecture? What is missing?

Are the new buildings that shadow the old blocking or adding to our area's culture?

I took this photo while stuck in traffic driving past Town Hall, as it was such a beautiful day and I felt lucky that the traffic had slowed me down.
