Mitchell's House, Ulladulla

Mitchell’s House, 56 North Street, Ulladulla

It’s not particularly attractive because of the low-cost, unsympathetic additions that have been made over time to this modest house, but 56 North Street is historically important because it is one of only two remaining intact slab buildings in Ulladulla and is one of the town’s few remaining pre-1900 buildings.

The slab timber cottage was built by the Mitchell family who worked on the Kendall estates to the north of nearby Milton. This family became active in the local timber industry, and in the early 1900s constructed a timber mill in the centre of Ulladulla town, opposite the harbour. A steam engine from the Mitchell’s Mill is on display in the Civic Centre grounds in Ulladulla.
