This three-bedroom brick house was built around 1889 by the Wallarah Coal-mining Company to house its mineworkers.
The first remembered occupant was miner Stan Fuller.
Stan and Joyce Price lived here untill1994. Joyce had come to the Bay as a 16-year-old to be the receptionist for the doctor and married Stan Price, a miner. They had two children, Myrna and Robert (both born in the maternity hospital run by Nurse Turode in Flowers Drive). The family originally lived in a shack at Moonee, below one occupied by the Outrams. The families were great friends and when the Outrams moved over to Clarke Street so too did the Prices.
In 1964 the Coal Company ‘Coal & Allied’ subdivided some of its land and determined that this house and land would be purchased for 350 pounds by Mr S Price.
This is the largest block of land in Clarke St with a width of 82 feet and a depth of 165 feet.
When Mrs Price went into a nursing home, the house was sold in 1994. When No 6 Clarke Street was bulldozed early one Sunday morning, the owner of no.3 managed to retrieve the front door of the demolished house and it is now the front door of No 3. This house has been renovated and extended at the rear.
