The only remaining section of a once impressive Tudor style complex that was the Pensioner Barracks in Perth from the 1860's. Features include battlement parapet and central pointed arch, quoining, string course, depressed pointed arch and label mould around windows.
The building was partly reconstructed when the balance of the Pensioner Guard Barracks were demolished in the 1960's as a result of the alignment of the Kwinana Freeway and Narrows Bridge interchange.
The Pensioner Barracks was constructed in 1863 to house the Pensioner Guards who came to the Swan River Colony in association with the arrival of the convicts.
Low level of integrity.
Medium level of authenticity. Remnant of original Pensioner Barracks complex.
