History[]

Huntley's Point was named by Alfred Reynolds Huntley who purchased the land here and built Point House in 1851. He had arrived in the colony with his family in 1836 and his father Dr Robert Huntley first occupied land in Braidwood that is known as Huntley's Flats.

Alfred Huntley opened Turkish baths in Bligh Street,^[2] in the city on the present site of Adyar House and later he became the chief engineer for Australian Gas Light Company. His only child, a son also named Alfred (Alfred Stafford Huntley) became a brilliant scholar at The King's School, Parramatta and later was an architect and civil engineer, building some of the stone houses at Hunters Hill.^[3]
