Site of a cottage owned by Lady Margaret Forrest, nee Hamersley, and referred to by the family as "The studio".

Her paintings are in the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Lady Margaret Forrest was the wife of John Forrest the surveyor of much of Cottesloe before he entered padiament.

Lord Fon-est owned other property in Eric Street where Hamersley Street now is to Marine Parade. In 1920 Lady Forrest applied to the council to make alterations to the cottage.
