Shenton House

Shenton House is a historic building within the grounds of The University of Western Australia in Perth.

Originally called 'Crawley Park House', it is the oldest building on campus, built in 1846 by Henry Charles Sutherland.

[1] It was given to the university in 1914 to accommodate the Department of Mining and Engineering, which occupied it until 1960.

Various alterations were made during this period to accommodate teaching requirements.

In 1921, the university formally acquired the roughly 81-hectare (200-acre) property, including the house, from the family of Sir George Shenton.
