Description

A six-cell lockup was built in Perth the year after the founding of the Swan River Colony (later Western Australia). Following the completion of the prison Round House at Fremantle in 1831, it?was used to accommodate inmates only for short terms. The gaol was demolished in 1855, as its position opposite Government House was considered poorly located. It became the site of The Deanery, a residence for the first Dean of Perth, Reverend George Pownall, with this heritage-listed building?today offices for the Anglican Church.
