The site of Galloway Cottage was given by Mrs Mary Meldrum or Galloway to the Helensburgh Ragged or Industrial School in which to build a house for the teacher. In 1877 the house was almost doubled in size by the addition of a lower block to the west (left) of the original block. The addition accommodated a new entrance, hall and bedrooms. The additions follow the original design and form an harmonised and unified composition.
