Warden Finnerty's residence

Built in 1895 for Coolgardie's first Resident Magistrate and Mining Warden, John Michael Finnerty, this historic residence showcases early Australian architecture. Constructed from local stone and brick, it features tall windows with louvered shutters, expansive verandahs, and a ventilated roof lantern, all designed to combat the harsh inland heat. The house is furnished to reflect the late Victorian era, offering visitors a glimpse into the prosperity and personal taste of the time. Overlooking the town from 'Montana' Hill, it remains a testament to Coolgardie's rich history.
