Many Nowra residents will know that the former Bridge Tavern / Bridge Hotel has been vacant for many years. Much of the more modern parts of the building were demolished in readiness for a major redevelopment of the site, but the development did not proceed. The original building finished in 1883, and the 1920's extensions have been stripped out, and have been on the market for some time. This is my vision as to how I would extend the building with a new Dining Room and outdoor dining area, new kitchen and bathroom areas and the conversion of the upper floor Managers residence into a function / event space. My vision includes reinstating the original cantilever balcony and cast iron lacework, so the building looks much more the way Henry Moss envisaged it when he started building in 1881. His health had deteriorated so much so, by the time the building was finished, he assigned the licence to Mr Benjamin Thompson, and he continued with his original Hotel. Moss's Central Hotel at Greenhills. ( The remains of his original Hotel is at 1 Ferry Lane, Nowra )

The GLENQUARRY. A recent addition to my gallery of pre designed Heritage Inspired Homes, the Glenquarry is designed in the 'Gothic Revival' style which was popular in the late 1800's.
It features multiple living areas on the ground floor as well as a generous Guest Bedroom and Bathroom. Upstairs there are a further 4 Bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms and a further sitting room. This design would feature a detached garage so as not to spoil the architecture of the home.
