Anzac Cottage is a house in the suburb of Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia that was built as both a memorial to the soldiers who died in the Gallipoli Campaign and as a home for one of the wounded returning men.

The cottage is a four-room,[b] brick and tile building, designed by Alfred Levido, a Perth architect.

Seventy drays and 150 men proceeded in 1⁄2-mile-long (800 m) convoy from James Street to the Mount Hawthorn building site.

[24] On arrival at the building site, Roberts ceremonially turned the first sod before the men began the foundation work, completing them the next day.

[5][28] The main construction attracted a crowd of 4,000 onlookers, the local streets were decorated with flags and streamers, and the Police Band provided music.

A souvenir booklet was printed to mark the occasion, with descriptions of the events and the cottage, photographs, and the names of many of those involved.

[7][29] On 15 April 1916 the cottage was officially opened for public inspection by Premier John Scaddan and his wife.

[18] Porter was a member of the 11th Battalion of the First Australian Imperial Force, and one of those in the landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915.

[6][33] The title deed to the property was held by the Mount Hawthorn Progress Association as trustees, with the returned soldier and his family and descendants having the right to live there, but not to sell it.

The Porters' children had moved elsewhere[34] and the nominal owner, the Mount Hawthorn Progress Association was no longer operating.

[11][25][26] In 2006 the cottage was donated to the Town of Vincent,[18] who leased it back to the VVAA WA for a peppercorn rent.

[4][6] In 2021 Anzac Cottage was transferred from the City of Vincent to the National Trust of Western Australia,[37][38] who run guided tours of the building.

[40] A plaque was attached to the flagpole, commemorating Private Leslie Arthur Wilkinson, who died at Anzac Cove.
