Patrick Taylor Cottage

Patrick Taylor Cottage is a heritage-listed wattle-and-daub cottage at 37 Duke Street in central Albany, Western Australia. Built in 1832, it is recognised as the oldest surviving dwelling in Western Australia. Originally built by John Lawrence Morley and later owned by Patrick Taylor, it now operates as a museum managed by the Albany Historical Society, displaying period furnishings, artefacts and exhibits illustrating early colonial life in Albany, the state's first European settlement.

Visitors can expect a small, single-storey wattle-and-daub cottage with 11 rooms furnished in 19th-century style, set in a cottage garden in central Albany. Inside are period furniture, household items, photographs and historical displays curated by the Albany Historical Society. Volunteer guides provide interpretation of the building's construction and early settlement history. The site is compact and explored on foot at a slow pace.
