House, 7 Albert Street

Statement of Significance

The building has significance as a rare example of an extant workers cottage in the Busselton area.

Physical Description

Albert Street is a single storey shop with a hipped roof. An enclosed verandah sits to the front of the building.
The underlying building has a steeply pitched roof that suggests that the roof was originally clad with shingles. The verandah in its present form is a much later addition. Recent refurbishment has brightened the place with a new coat of bright and contrasting paint colours. As such, the building provides an interesting visual counterpoint along the commercial streetscape of Albert Street.

History

duplex). It is believed that the building had an earth floor.
