Two storey rendered building with a zero set back from the pavement. There is a decorative parapet with a central pediment and decorative brackets. There are arched sash windows and a central entrance with drive through entrance to the left side.
Lot 66 was originally owned by Henry Willey Reveley (1788-1875) a civil engineer responsible for the earliest public works at the Swan River Colony including the Round House (1829-1837). The lot was then owned by the Roman Catholic church under Bishop Serra (1856-1859) and Bishop Griver (1876-1879), consisting of shops and a cottage. The cottage was for a time used by the Harbour Master's crew (c1886).
1911 - 1929 F. H. Faulding & Co was a pharmaceutical company founded in Adelaide, Australia, in 1845, began bisiness in Perth in 1890. One of the company's major innovations was the development of a process for distillation of eucalyptus oil, which formed the basis of an antiseptic marketed as ‘Solyptol’. F. H. Faulding & Co Ltd, wholesale druggists & manufacturing chemists had a business here from 1911 - 1929.

Faulding and Co., will be charged with having on May 26 sold (1) Zambuk ointment, and (2) Indian root pills, two patent medicines, which it is alleged do not comply with the provisions of regulation No. 26 of the Health Act.

1930 Royal Show: Messrs. F. H. Faulding and Co. have a most attractive display in their pavilion. The dominating note, of course, is boronia, for the firm is renowned for its perfumes, face powders, etc.. made from the pick of our wildflowers. 'Faulded,' an insecticide, guaranteed to kill flies, and one of the latest products from the firm's laboratories, is given prominence, together with the popular 'Marion' sauce, a Worcester type of sauce made in Western Australia by F. H. Faulding and Co. A shilling bag comprising samples of 'Marion' sauce, Faulding's coffee essence, Solyptol soap, health saline, and the latest addition to the wide range of Fauldins cordials 'orange,' is finding great favor with bargain seekers.

The building was sold out of the church c1920. It was then a Stevedoring Company from 1930.

Notre Dame
2005 “The new Fremantle based Medical School was formally opened by the Commonwealth Minister for Health, Mr Tony Abbott, on 2 September, 2005. It was an exciting occasion. All present knew this was a very important milestone in the history of UNDA. The first Medicine intake – over 80 graduate entry candidates – began their course in January 2005. This new Medical School, under its Foundation Dean, Adrian Bower, and his deputy, Jenny McConnell, rapidly gained a reputation for the quality of its staff and curriculum, its clinical training experiences, and the excellence of its students and its graduates”.
