| Pensioners Barracks built 1863 In 1966 two wings of the Pensioner's Barrack were demolished to make way for the Mitchell Freeway and give the newly built Parliament House a clear view down St George's Terrace. The public were outraged. Unfortunately despite the publics's disapproval the State Government went ahead and demolished the Barracks. The Barracks Arch is now all that remains.
| The Barracks Arch The Barracks Arch, a four storey tudor arched gateway, is all that remains of the Pensioner's Barrack which was built to house soldiers (and families) of the Enrolled Pensioner Forces. These soldiers known as the Pensioner Guards were sent to Western Australia to guard the convicts that were transported to the Colony from 1850-1865.
