Condition

Good In 1969, the Kalamunda and Districts Historical Society was formed and they were instrumental in the creation of the Kalamunda History Village which opened in 1970. This cottage was built by the McCullagh family in 1898 and owned and lived in by descendants of the McCullagh family until the 1970s. It was originally located at 63 Railway Road Kalamunda and was relocated to the history village in 1980. Until 1921, the first Kalamunda post office, was run by Mrs McCullagh from a small addition on the side of the cottage which is now also included in the History Village in its original position alongside the cottage.
