Notre Dame University ND39 - School of Medicine - Bateman Buildings

All the buildings in this group have historic significance and association with the Bateman family who were involved in the shipping industry in Fremantle in the nineteenth century.

The original owners, the Bateman family, arrived from England in 1830. John Bateman supplied provisions for the Swan River colony until his death in 1855. By 1859 his sons, John and Walter Bateman were the colony's leading importers and exporters, with their own fleet of sailing ships.

J & W Bateman's hardware and plumbing supplies, warehouses, etc occupied both sides of Mouat St through to Henry St.

In the early 1990s the building were converted for use as part of Notre Dame University.
