| History | |
King Cottage was built around 1880 by Henry KING, a bricklayer by trade. The King family owned the house until 1923, when it was sold to the CARLSON family. In 1966 it was purchased by the City of Bunbury, which has leased it to the Bunbury Historical Society since that date.

The main rooms of the cottage are furnished to fit the period of the KING family ownership, from 1880s to the 1920s.
