Information wanted about old buildings

 

The Bouddi Society is gathering information, in words and images, for a number of buildings in the area.

The information would describe the role the buildings and their occupants played in the history of the Bouddi area, rather than their architectural attributes.

The buildings would include the simple fibro cottage bequeathed to the National Parks and Wildlife Service by conservationists Allen and Beryl Strom.

Other notable buildings would include the former home and studio of artist Russel Drysdale, and also the home of Oscar Speck whose life is briefly described in "Reflections from the Beaches and the Bays".

The Wagstaffe Hall would be included with its use as a picture theatre, as would the cliff-top home of the late photographer David Moore.

Any suggestions of other buildings and the stories behind them should be sent to Lcasey@smartchat.net.au or duftys@ozemail.com.au.
