Statement of Significance

The place has historic significance for associations with the Bateman family who were involved in the shipping industry in Fremantle in the nineteenth centuries. The place is significant as a good example of warehouse buildings constructed prior to the gold rush boom.

Physical Description

Two storey rendered corner building with a zero setback to the pavement. There is a simple parapet and stucco architraves surrounding the arched sash windows. The attached building in Croke Lane has a taller and more decorative parapet and a central drive through entrance.

A Heritage Assessment was prepared in January 2010 for a building at 32 Mouat Street (Notre Dame library building) by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0697/09) for internal alterations; a mezzanine floor, two staircases and a lift.

History

Original owners were the Bateman family, who arrived from England in 1830. By 1834 the family had built a stone cottage and a store, John Bateman dealing in provisions for the colonists until his death in 1855. By 1859 the brothers, John and Walter were the Colony's leading importers and exporters, with their own fleet of sailing ships, becoming the biggest ship-owner in WA.

J &W Bateman's, hardware and plumbing supplies, warehouses, etc occupied both sides of Mouat St through to Henry St, including lots 37-38 Mouat St, lots 50-54 Mouat St and lots 67-72, No 47 Henry St.

In the early 1990s the building was converted for use as part of Notre Dame University. Currently (2013), Notre Dame University.
