History

Paisley Cottage was built by John Muir, stonemason. Muir was also the gardener at Little Holland House; an extant homestead in Busselton that previously belonged to the Princep family. Paisley Cottage was built for Lucy (the daughter of John Muir) and Norm Rose, who lived there for many years. The house was bought and restored by Elizabeth Nelson in the 1990s, with a focus on retaining the original fabric. Nelson re-roofed the house with shingles during this period, planted the gardens and installed the post and rail fence. Nelson subdivided the block off the back in Joliffe Street from the title and sold Paisley Cottage c1998 when it was bought by E. & P. Trew, at auction.
