Biographical history
Noah Norman Bradley (1857-1924), cabinet maker and businessman, was born in 1857 in Musgrave Harbour, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland, into a family of boatbuilders and fishermen. Bradley married Evangeline M. Trimm in 1886, and on 21 March 1888, the couple had a son, Frederick Gordon Bradley (1888-1966), who became a lawyer and politician. Bradley died in St. John's in 1924.
In 1878, with his brothers Adam and Len, Noah Bradley built the Orange Hall in Musgrave Harbour. In 1881, he began a five-year apprenticeship with the Newfoundland Furniture and Molding Company at its factory on Forest Road, St. John's. By 1890, he was working as a cabinetmaker for Richard Goff in a manufacturing shop in the Goff house on Prescott Street. From 1898 until his death, Bradley operated his own furniture-making business from his residence on Victoria Street.
