The place has historic value for its associations with the convict era and the methods of construction used in the mid 19th century. The place has historic value for its association with Pensioner Guard, Owen Hackett, later occupants Ernest and Tom James and former owner Joseph Monger. The place has social vale as it demonstrates a former way of life through the scale of the dwelling and the size of the rooms. The building has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape.
Single storey brick and iron cottage with a hipped roof, verandah and side extension. The brickwork has been painted. Timber framed casement windows. Prominent red brick chimney. Two rear extensions of brick and weatherboard constructions. Verandah to front and rear of property.
After the arrival of the convict party in Toodyay, pensioner Guards and their families required accommodation. Land allotments were marked out and Owen Hackett was allocated a lot but transferred it to this one. In 1862, Joseph Monger bought this property and the next, to build the Newcastle Hotel (now Toodyay Tavern). Owen Hackett died soon after selling the cottage.
