Historical information

The cottage at 6 Mt. Anderson Street, Toodyay is a single storey brick and iron cottage situated on a raised plot with hipped roof and brick chimneys. There are extensive verandahs with 3‐bar timber fencing balustrade and timber posts. Brickwork is painted. Timber framed sash and casement windows. Weatherboard extension towards the rear of the property. Built on brick piers in part taking into account the changing topographical levels of the plot.
It was constructed in Toodyay in a period of expansion in the 1890s. The property was originally owned by Barnard Drummond Clarkson and sold to Edith Veryard in1890. It is believed the cottage was built for Edith Veryard.
The property was transferred to Augusta Marris in 1903 and then Mary Ann Lee in 1910. In the late 1950s Arthur Donnelly moved into the house after having arrived in Australia in the early 1930s. His sons built the side verandahs.
