Historical information

The Claremont General Medical Practice started at the end of 1896 and was the oldest continuous general practice in Western Australia. The practice was founded by Dr William Theodore Hodge, the first western trained doctor to work in Claremont. In 1919, Dr Donald R. C. Tregonning bought the block at what is now 328 Stirling Highway, and designed and built house and surgery in a Californian Bungalow style. The practice operated from this site until it closed in February 2011.
