Taylor's Cottage

West Coast Australia


This two-room, sawn-timber cottage is in the grounds of the Guildford Courthouse, and is actually the oldest part of the Guildford Heritage Precinct (1863). Emma and Edward Taylor once lived here, with their 13 kids (13!). Admission is included with Guildford Gaol entry.
