Butterly House
Butterly House, also known as Monger's Cottage, is located at 1A-D Harper Road, Toodyay, Western Australia. The building was the location of the first bank in Toodyay.
== History ==
The land was bought by J.G.C. Carr in 1860.〔 The original dwelling was constructed by John Henry Monger circa 1870, on Town Lot #1. His son, Charles Samuel Monger, resided in the dwelling〔 and operated the family store located opposite the house and adjacent to the Bolgart Bridge (crossing the Avon River). In 1889 the building was converted to accommodate the Western Australian Bank.〔 This was the first bank in Toodyay.〔 The manager of the Northam Branch, James Mitchell, who later became the Premier of Western Australia and Governor of Western Australia, rode over twice a week to also manage the Toodyay branch. In 1898 the bank vacated the premises, moving into a newly constructed premises on Stirling Terrace,〔 and the Monger family resumed occupancy.〔〔 In 1910 the residence was acquired by Mr Angus and Mrs Emma Butterly (née Monger), who undertook extensive remodelling of the dwelling. From 1954–80 the cottage was owned and occupied by Miss Kathleen Gladys Butterly, who sold the house and land to the Shire of Toodyay in 1981. In March 1981, the Shire Council leased Butterly House to the Toodyay Homes for the Aged Association (now Butterly Cottages Association (Inc.)). In 1997 the Association received a grant from the Heritage Council and in 1998 funding from Lotteries Commission to restore the building. In 1999 the building was officially re-opened and is used by the Association for recreation and as a living museum with collections of photographs and memorabilia.
