Description

The first permanent building of the Swan River Colony, which had been established two years earlier in 1829, the Round House at Fremantle is today the oldest extant building in Western Australia. Based on Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon design, the prison consisted of eight cells and a gaoler's residence. It was used to house colonial and Indigenous prisoners until 1886, when convicted locals began being sent to Fremantle Prison (formerly a prison for convict transportees) instead. The Round House remained in use as a police lockup until 1900. Today the site is a heritage tourist attraction.
