History
Original owners were the Bateman family, who arrived from England in 1830. By 1834 the family had built a stone cottage and a store, John Bateman dealing in provisions for the colonists until his death in 1855. By 1859 the brothers, John and Walter were the Colony's leading importers and exporters, with their own fleet of sailing ships, becoming the biggest ship-owner in WA.
J &W Bateman's, hardware and plumbing supplies, warehouses, etc occupied both sides of Mouat St through to Henry St, including lots 37-38 Mouat St, lots 50-54 Mouat St and lots 67-72, No 47 Henry St.
In the early 1990s the building was converted for use as part of Notre Dame University. Currently (2013), Notre Dame University.
A Heritage Assessment was prepared for 32 Mouat Street (Notre Dame library building) in January 2010 by Philip Griffiths Architects for a DA submission to Council (DA0697/09) for internal alterations; a mezzanine floor, two staircases and a lift.
