Strathearn, Alderley, Heritage listed building in Alderley, Australia

Strathearn is a small single-storey timber weatherboard cottage at 16 Quarry Road, Alderley, in Brisbane. It has a hipped roof and a front verandah, and is also known as Anzac Cottage no. 37. It was built in 1920 as one of 38 Anzac Cottage Trust homes in Brisbane, most of which carried Anzac-themed names.

Strathearn was built in 1920 as an Anzac Cottage Trust home, the second-last of 38 such cottages erected in Brisbane. The Trust, a sub-committee of the Queensland War Council formed on 25 September 1915, housed widows and female dependents of Queensland soldiers. Profits from the Golden Casket lotteries funded many of the cottages. The Warner family occupied it until 1998, and it was heritage-listed on 5 February 2007.

The name Strathearn comes from a Scottish river valley, chosen by the Warner family for their Anzac Cottage. Mary Ann Warner, widowed in 1920, was a keen gardener who began a family tradition: a piece of her sacred bamboo went into every wedding bouquet, and each family member received a cutting when moving to a new home. She died in her garden in 1955.

The cottage can be viewed from the street and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access. As a protected heritage site, it remains under conservation guidelines, so visitors should be respectful of the property and its surroundings.

Strathearn was the second-last of 38 Anzac Cottages built in Brisbane, and the house was occupied by the Warner family from July 1920 until Florence Handley died on 10 February 1998. Mary Ann Warner, widowed when Private John Thomas Warner died in March 1920, moved in with five children.
