Ellery Cottage (fmr) is significant for the associations with Bob Ellery and as one of the few of many original, direct oceanfront cottages along the foreshore strip that contributes to the character and streetscape of Port Hedland town.
Single storey timber framed Hardiflex clad bungalow. Break pitch gable roof clad with colourbond steel sheeting. Setback from street (south) with extensive ocean frontage to north.
Bob Ellery followed father Bob, also in railways, as a fettler in the 1930s, on the Port Hedland to Marble Bar railway. In his youth, Bob Ellery was one of Len Taplin's drivers between 1923-1930. Taplin pioneered the use of trucks in the Pilbara, servicing stations.
