    Location
    Building History Description

    After Hartley Courthouse was built in 1837, the town grew as both a government administrative centre and also as a wayside service centre, being an important stopping point on the western road to Bathurst and further inland. Old Tralee was built in 1846-54 by John and Mary Finn for their family of 8 children. Named after the Finns' family home in Ireland, it has brick walls, a hipped iron roof (with shingles beneath) and various pit sawn timbers.

    The Finn family was significant in Hartley's history, for the family also built the post office 1845 and 1852 (which family members ran for fifty eight years) Ivy Cottage and Farmers Inn 1845-46 (licensed from about the 1860s until 1895 and now the Hartley Historic Site Visitor Centre)
