If so you just might be the person needed to take on Wollaston House. Arguably the oldest house in WA that is still lived in, it is certainly the oldest recycled house. Built in 1830s near Point King in Albany for a Mr Morley, Harbour Master who drowned in 1840, it was subsequently demolished by Dr Henry Wollaston and the materials used again in 1848-50 on its present site in Duke Street, corner of Parade St., Albany. Recent work has shown that part of the kitchen may in fact predate the main building and could be a remnant of the original Army camp site in Parade Street. The 8ins wide floor boards upstairs are believed to be from Governor Stirlings own shipment of English Maple. The house needs someone who loves it, it needs a gentle touch, generosity and love. It was the home of Dr Henry Wollaston, a medical doctor who had his surgery here and son of Rev Wollaston the first clergyman in WA Dr Henry sold it to Major Peter Warburton in 1852.
