Patrick Taylor Cottage, Folk museum in Albany, Western Australia.

Patrick Taylor Cottage is a single-story house with eleven rooms, including a parlor, nursery, and sewing room, with wattle and daub walls topped by a corrugated iron roof. Each space is furnished and arranged to show how people lived and worked within these modest rooms during the early settlement period.

Built in 1832 by the Morley brothers, the cottage was sold in 1835 to Patrick Taylor, a Scottish settler who arrived in 1834. His family kept the property into the 1950s. Condemned as unfit for habitation in the 1960s, it opened as Albany's first museum in 1964 and was added to the State Register of Heritage Places in 2009.

The cottage displays everyday items and household objects that show how early European settlers lived and organized their homes in this remote region. These belongings reveal the habits and practical concerns of people who arrived during the pioneering era.

The cottage sits below road level on Duke Street, overlooking Princess Royal Harbour, on a site with mature trees and an English cottage garden. The verandah is partly walled in with weatherboard and sun-baked bricks, and the eleven rooms are small, so allow time to move through them slowly.

The cottage holds about 2,000 historical items, among them clocks, silverware, costumes and kitchenware. It opened in 1964 as Albany's first museum, run by the Albany Historical Society, and was entered on the State Register of Heritage Places in 2009.
