Built in 1850 and extended in 1875, the Residency Building served as a store and offices for the nearby convict-hiring depot. When the depot closed, more rooms were added and it became home to the Government Residents and then to the Resident Magistrates.
The Residency contains the newly redeveloped exhibitions telling the stories of the Great Southern’s natural and social history, from its early geological formation, its indigenous history through to early settlement and on to the area’s modern day events such as the introduction of the wind farm, the largest in Australia.
