Warden Finnerty's House in Coolgardie is a beautiful historic home which has been faithfully restored to its original 1895 grandeur. Commonly known as ‘The Residency’, it is an excellent early example of clever design being used to protect its inhabitants from the harsh local climate. The verandas are wide, the windows are louvered and there is a ventilated roof lantern.
John Michael Finnerty was the first resident magistrate of the Coolgardie goldfields. His fine old stone house was built by timber industry pioneer Richard Bunning. The home is a stunning example of early Australian architecture, with all of the trimmings and style afforded by the booming economic climate of the time.
