History

The cottages were built for the Makin family, an early commercial family of Berrima. The Makins lived in the eastern section and rented the other. The family ran a store selling groceries, drapery and chemist goods on what is now the site of the local service station.[2]

The cottages were subsequently joined into a single dwelling. A weatherboard, skillion roofed addition to the rear was made c. 1980. A boarded partition across the middle of the verandah, which had separated the two occupancies, was removed between 1975 and 1980.[2]

A Permanent Conservation Order was issued for the property on 13 March 1981.[3]

Description

Makin Cottage is a single-storey hipped roof cottage originally designed as a semidetached pair. Walls are of rubble stone (now painted) and the low central chimney is face brickwork. The skillion roofed front verandah features truncated square timber posts on a painted brickwork balustrade and a (modern) boarded end. The cottage is currently not readily visible from the highway, being hidden behind a group of shops.[2]
