Anzac Cottage, House museum in Mount Hawthorn, Perth, Australia

Anzac Cottage is a four-room brick and tile house designed by Perth architect Alfred Levido in Federation Queen Anne style. Its roof has two finialed gables, a verandah runs across the full front, and the front rooms have triple bay windows. Above the door, leadlight panels include the word ANZAC, and the ceilings are pressed metal.

Built in a single day on February 12, 1916, with donated funds and volunteer labor, the cottage became Western Australia's first World War I memorial. It was presented as a gift to a wounded soldier who made it his home after recovering from his injuries.

The cottage serves as a memorial to soldiers who served in World War I, with its name and leadlight decoration referencing the famous Gallipoli Campaign. The National Trust of Western Australia maintains this site and shares its significance with visitors.

Anzac Cottage is run by the National Trust of Western Australia, which offers guided tours of the building; tours are the way to see the interior, so check with the Trust before travelling. The cottage stands in Mount Hawthorn, in the City of Vincent, with the flagpole in the front yard marking the entrance. The original washhouse is gone, but its concrete slab remains about 6 m from the rear verandah.

The flagpole in the front yard was donated by Mrs Helmes in memory of her nephew, and its plaque commemorates Private Leslie Arthur Wilkinson, killed at Anzac Cove. The original memorial plaque was laid in 1916 by Lady Clara Barron, wife of Governor Harry Barron; Lorraine Sanderson, wife of Governor John Sanderson, laid a replacement in April 2002.
