139 Mayne Street, Gulgong NSW 2852

It's not often that a piece of history comes onto the market for sale. Yet this double storey building which began its journey as the "Grand Central Boot Palace" in the very early 1900's is looking for a new owner.
Well known local family, headed by Louis Naughton brought this building to life in or around 1912. Walter Murphy was contracted by L C Naughton to erect a two storey building as a store and residence at the cost of 1000 pounds on the corner of Mayne & Medley Streets in Gulgong. And so it stands. The building was a clothing store for several decades, it also enjoyed being a bank, a gift shop and now showcases local claywork and pottery, in particular by the gifted Mansfield family.
As you can see in the photos, from the horse drawn carriages which show further up the street at that time, to the hustle and bustle of times gone by and right to now, this building has held a prominent spot in the Gulgong landscape.
For someone looking for a retail space, with great window display areas and an attached residence, this property is well worth considering.
Downstairs, the retail space is well laid out with two big windows. This area is separate to the kitchen, lounge and bathroom which is also downstairs. At the rear of the kitchen is an enclosed yard, which in the past has been a gorgeous garden area with a small storage shed. Upstairs, are 3 bedrooms and a 2nd bathroom. The bedrooms have french doors leading onto the spacious wraparound verandah. These rooms are large and enjoy magnificent views. In fact the verandah, that is edged with metal lacework, enjoys views right across the Gulgong valley and plains.
This building has stories to tell, it has been part of the Gulgong narrative for over a hundred years.
If you want to take the tour and hear and see it for yourself, call Raine & Horne Gulgong on 63741000. It will be our pleasure to take you through this wonderful building.
