From the Maitland Mercury report:
Where Hunter Street meets the river, at Horseshoe Bend, stood an 1890s cottage beneath the shade of a huge camphor laurel tree.

Based on a 2010 council determination that the brick, weatherboard and tin cottage had “low to moderate” heritage value it was torn down by All Saints College to make way for an industrial arts facility at the back of its St Peter’s Campus.
