This cottage in Dunnottar was built in 1911 for grain merchant William L. Parrish, possibly as a rental facility. Around 1936, Parrish sold it to Duncan Scott McIntyre for $350 interest-free if the debt was paid within one year. McIntyre's wife Margaret paid it out of her housekeeping money later that year. The veranda of the wood-frame cottage is screened in with wooden awnings, wainscoting, and a buffalo board ceiling. Its painted vertically-panelled half-walls separate the central room from the bedrooms. Buffalo board covers the ceilings and other walls, even in the kitchen. Everything in this cottage is original, with the kitchen and bathroom being early additions, and the furniture is period.
