Hotel Fremantle located on High Street, Fremantle was built in 1899 at the height of the Western Australian gold rush, for W. deLacy Bacon. It was designed by local architect Wilkinson and Smith. The three storey residential hotel contained bedrooms, public bars, billiard room and sitting room. The design incorporated the existing residential structure built for the previous owner William Dalgety Moore which had been constructed in 1885. The building was classified by the National Trust of Australia in 1974 and placed on the Register of National Estate in 1980.[1]
During World War II the hotel was used as a hospital with operating theatres. In 2002 the building was purchased to become part the Notre Dame University.[1]
