Braemar House is a single-storey limestone residence at 8 Windsor Road (near the corner of Stirling Highway) in East Fremantle. It is next to an aged care facility (at number 10) that has the same name.
This was the the house of John Hugh Gracie (1855-1927), manager of the Castlemaine Brewery on Riverside Drive.
Some sources state that none of that building remains.[1] It has been a home for the aged since 1950.[2]
In 1912, Gracie married his third wife, Christina (Ethel) Durkin. They resided at 3 Riverside Road, close to Castlemaine Brewery, until 1915. From 1915 until 1927 he lived at a magnificent property at 214 Canning Highway known as Kensington. In September 1927 this was auctioned into six separate blocks. The site is now occupied by Braemar House, an aged care facility. The current street address of Braemar House is 10 Windsor Road and there are a number of buildings standing between it and Canning Highway[3] one of which is the original house.
