Claremont Teachers College was Western Australia's first post-secondary teaching institution. It opened in 1902 and closed in 1981, when it became a College of Advanced Education then a campus of Edith Cowan University before being acquired by the University of Western Australia. The building is on land between Goldsworthy, Princess and Bay Roads in the western Perth, Western Australia suburb of Claremont.[1] It is a large two storey limestone building set in extensive grounds, with a distinctive square crenellated tower, and was entered in the Register of the National Estate in 1987.[2]
