Castledare Boys' Home, Heritage site in Wilson, Western Australia.
Castledare Boys' Home occupies 83 acres along the Canning River, featuring a Federation style homestead with architectural elements from the early 1900s.
The Christian Brothers operated this residential institution from 1929 to 1983, initially established as a training school for children with intellectual disabilities.
The Mother of Perpetual Succour Chapel, constructed in 1957, transformed into the Wilson parish church in 1977, serving the broader community.
The property has been converted into Castledare Retirement Village, managed by Catholic Homes Incorporated, offering aged care services and residential facilities.
A miniature railway system operates on the grounds since the 1960s, providing recreational train rides to visitors throughout the property.
