Day Cottage, Victorian heritage cottage in East Rockingham, Western Australia
Day Cottage features limestone walls and an iron roof, reflecting the architectural techniques of Western Australian colonial settlements during the 1880s.
William Day and his family settled on this property in 1858, leasing the land from Jabez White before constructing the current cottage in 1882.
The cottage belongs to the East Rockingham Heritage Precinct, alongside Bell Cottage, Hymus House, and Chesterfield Inn, representing early regional development patterns.
The structure received official recognition on the State Register of Heritage Places in 2001, preserving its status as a colonial-era dwelling.
Between 1895 and 1896, the cottage temporarily operated as Rockingham Inn, providing accommodation during a period of increased regional activity.
