Historical information

The museum building was erected in 1861-62 by convicts as a school and church. Circa 1886, 'some' bachelors and a Chinese cook lived there. Circa 1900 it became a policeman's residence. Sir Paul Hasluck opened the building as a museum on 12 April, 1975. In 1983 an annex was built alongside for activities and office space. The studio annexe was opened on 17th December 1983, by the Lord Mayor of Claremont, Mr Bruce Houston. The Claremont Museum was opened officially by Sir Paul Hasluck in 1975. After restoration and addition of the annex, it was opened by Mr Bruce Houston, Mayor of Claremont in 1983.
