The building has historic value through its association with the settlement and development of the town of Toodyay. The place has social value through its association with early settlers, the Monger family and the Western Australian Bank. The social value of the place to the community of Toodyay is demonstrated by its acquisition by the Shire of Toodyay and its subsequent restoration and use by the community. The building has aesthetic value as it makes a valuable contribution to the Stirling Terrace streetscape.
Red brick single storey dwelling with iron roof with double hip to rear and single hip to the front. The building is surrounded by an iron bullnose verandah supported on timber posts with Colonial style timber panels. The front elevation presents a symmetrical facade with centrally placed door and flanking French windows. Brick work is laid in Flemish and English bonds with tuck pointing.
J.G.C. Carr bought the property in 1860. Later, John Henry Monger built the house in which his son, Charles Samuel monger, lived. In 1889 the Western Australian Bank occupied the building for use as a banking premises. This was the first bank in the town of Toodyay. In 1898, the bank moved into a newly built premises and Charles Monger resumed residency. In about 1910 Mr. & Mrs. (nee Emma Monger) Augustus Butterly bought the property and carried out extensive remodelling of the place. Butterly family members left the house in about 1980 and the Toodyay Shire acquired it. It is currently (2010) leased to the Butterly Cottages Association Inc.
