Statement of Significance
The place has historic value for its associations with early settler Matthew Doust. It has aesthetic value as a representative example of a modest cottage built in the 1860's and for its contribution to the townscape of Toodyay.
Physical Description
An extended mudbrick cottage constructed upon a stone plinth with a hipped iron roof and asbestos panelled extension. Extensive range of casement windows to front elevation.
History
In October 1857 a pensioner guard was allocated this lot. In December 1875 Matthew Doust acquired the property. He had his beginnings in carting when he bought horses from Daniel Connor and began carting wool, sandalwood, shingles and flour to Guildford and Fremantle the loading provisions for Toodyay.
