Poor to fair This former cottage was built for the Stirk family who had previously lived in the (1881) cottage now within Stirk Park. With a family of 11 living in the original cottage they built this cottage in the 1890s to take the 'overflow' from the family. The Stirk family were very important to the establishment and development of fruit growing in the district and were the pioneers in the commercial growing of strawberries . The cottage accommodated members of the family until 1978 when it was purchased by the Shire of Kalamunda. The Shire of Kalamunda restored the building and have used it for a variety of purposes since then.
