drawing teacher and architect, advertised in the Maitland Mercury of 25 February 1860 that he had 'Removed to that New House lately erected in Church Street, West Maitland, next St. Mary’s Church’ and was proposing to form 'separate classes for young ladies and gentlemen for the study of Landscape and Figure drawing, in pencil and crayon. Also, an evening class for young men.’ He added that he was available to attend schools and could provide builders and contractors with designs, working drawings and specifications.
William White designed St Paul’s Church of England at West Maitland in 1856, a large, loosely proportioned, cruciform brick building in a simple lancet Gothic style with a hammer-beam roof painted red and gold, presumably to his design. The builder was James Hesp and the church was opened and dedicated by Bishop Tyrell on 26 September 1858. With a bell-tower added in 1888 to the design of A.C. Lee, St Paul’s remains in use.
