TheEdmund Rice Administration Wing, commonly known asThe Castle, is a heritage listed building located on Mount Henry Road inSalter Point and the focal point of theAquinas College Campus. Built in 1937, the Castle was the first building completed on the campus. The building is owned by theChristian Brothers as part of the Aquinas College property.
The Castle was designed byCavanagh andCavanagh, and built over several stages; the tower and south wing were first to be completed in 1937. The north wing, anticipated in the original plans, was designed by Henderson & Thompson and completed in 1967. Deliberate efforts were made to design the north wing to echo the style, form and established materials of the original south wing, presenting visually, a three-storey façade, which cleverly conceal what is actually a four-storey building.
The Castle was funded largely bydonations and from money obtained from the sale of some of the original 234 acres (0.95 km2) purchased by the Christian Brothers in 1928.[1]
The Castle was heritage listed by theHeritage Council of Western Australia on 1 May 1989.[2]
