The cottage didn't have a name. So what do we call it? We laboured over this for some time even; as I re-read "The History Of Port Fairy" by J W Powling. Stories of the Wisharts and the Rutlidges and the famous parties at the Merrigig Inn enticed me to think about a name but nothing jumped. 
When.... 
I was taking some stuff over to the cottage after picking up the keys from the real estate company only to arrive at the cottage to fine two lovely ladies, a mother and daughter, taking photos of the cottage on an iPad. "Ohhh" one said, the younger of the two, "Are you the owner? Is it OK if we get a photo of the cottages?" 
"No worries." I replied.
"You see my mother here and I have come from Bannockburn to see where my mother, and her mother(the older of the two) lived in the 1880s. She came here as a young teacher to take up a position of employment."
To boot... Desma had pictures of the cottages in the car taken in the 1870s/80s that are now on the pages of our website....Wow!
This blew me away as one of those cosmic events that happen in one's life. 
The woman in question's name  was Elizabeth Margaret Brady; a teacher...... A teacher just like Adele and I.
Sooooo...... Elizabeth Margaret Brady Cottage seemed so apt!
I'll post more about her as I get some emails about her.
That all being said! I will continue to find information about the heritage of the building as I get time to research the families that called 59 Campbell St. home.

Well Adele and I have finally found a beautiful place for us in Port Fairy! Why? Because we wanted to have a place that really epitomised the true spirit of the "Worlds Most Livable Small Town." A space that exemplifies its heritage but invites others to come and stay, relax and enjoy our Western District hospitality in luxury. We love to look after family, friends and all others we encounter on the journey.....So a place to rent out seemed a natural way to expand our hospitality.
