Doggetts Cottage is a heritage-listed cottage at 33 Arthur Street, Fortitude Valley, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was built c. 1880 by Harry Doggett. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
This single-storeyed brick house was built about 1880 by Harry Doggett, bricklayer and builder, as his family home. Doggett was active in civic affairs and was elected mayor of the Town of Brisbane in 1913.
Although he died in 1927, the house remained in the family until the 1970s. From 1983 to 1988 it was used as offices for the Martin Agency who carried out alterations. The roofspace was opened up and a new kitchen and bathroom were installed on the verandah. The stables were also enlarged. The property has now returned to its original use as a family home.
Built on tuff foundations, Doggetts Cottage is a four-roomed single-storeyed brick house with a detached kitchen wing at the rear. It has a steeply pitched gable roof of corrugated iron.
The convex roofed verandahs across the front and back have square timber posts and stick balusters. The exterior walls exhibit fine brickwork and decorative features such as a string course below the eaves in diagonally laid bricks.
The interior consists of four main rooms and a new kitchen and bathroom on what was the rear verandah leading to the kitchen wing, which is now used for other purposes. Internal walls and ceilings are plastered and the original cedar joinery includes a mantelpiece. A modern staircase leads to the attic in the roof space.
