Lady Lawley Cottage

A little corner turret, limestone walls and broad verandahs give Lady Lawley Cottage its distinctive seaside character. Opened in 1903 to provide convalescent care for children, it belongs to a period when Cottesloe's fresh sea air was considered part of the treatment. More than a century of care followed within these walls.

View Lady Lawley Cottage from Gibney Street outside number 8. Respect the privacy of this operating support venue and follow its own access arrangements.

Lady Lawley Cottage by the Sea opened on 18 March 1903, providing respite and convalescent care for sick and recovering children and care for children with disabilities. It was established at the suggestion of Lady Annie Lawley, wife of WA Governor Sir Arthur Lawley, and named in recognition of her support for charitable causes.

During the Second World War the cottage became a convalescent home for women from the Australian Women's Land Army and Merchant Navy. The Australian Red Cross took over management in the mid-1940s, and the site later returned to caring for children, eventually providing respite and transition care for children with disabilities. Lady Lawley Cottage finally closed as a care service in 2020.

The original building is a Federation-era limestone bungalow. Look for the turreted southwest corner, rusticated stonework and French windows opening onto the verandah. It was added to the State Register of Heritage Places in 2003, recognising both its architecture and unusually long history of care.

Enjoy the building from Gibney Street and be mindful that this is not a public museum or open-house attraction. Appreciate the architecture from the public frontage and respect the privacy of anyone using the property.
