Geraldton Residency
As one of a small group of surviving buildings from the mid-19th century in the town, Geraldton Residency illustrates the early development of the Champion Bay settlement which later became Geraldton.
As the first and only maternity hospital in the district which was funded, organised and run by the community, predominantly by women, Geraldton Residency is closely associated with the development of the region's health care between 1925 and 1962 and with the rise of the women's movement throughout the State.
Geraldton Residency is valued by the community for it current contribution to the recreational, educational and social life of Geraldton and for its associations with the Geraldton Cultural Trust, an organisation originally established as the Geraldton Working Men's Society (later the Geraldton Mechanics' Institute) in 1868.
This beautiful 1861 built Colonial Georgian limestone building today houses 25 cultural organisations.
Geraldton Residency is located in Geraldton, a five hour drive north of Perth.
