5,651 items
The home of Henry and Anne Camfield. Anne founded a school for Aboriginal children. They built a two storey addition to their home - classroom downstairs and accommodation above. The Camfields built Annesfield on an adjoiing block - since burnt down.
In 1896 Camfield was purchased as a residence for the Christian Brothers and the two story extension was used as a private school, the Brothers also teaching in a parish school in Aberdeen St. In 1905 the Brothers moved to Kalgoorlie which was expanding very quickly and where they began Christian Brothers College Kalgoorlie in 1906. The Kalgoorlie College amalgamated with Prendiville College in 1984 as John Paul College. The Brothers withdrew from Kalgoorlie at the end of 2001.

This building has been part of the history of Anglican, Catholic and Aboriginal Education.
