History

Example of a commercial building constructed in Perth during the period of expansion and development that followed the gold rush of the 1890's.

14) Barrack Street was so named because it is located adjacent to the parade ground and barracks set aside for the original planning of Perth for offices and soldiers. This area extended from St. George's Terrace to Hay Street and from Barrack Street to Pier Street. The barrack ground formed the buffer in the original plan for Perth between the western commercial area and the eastern administrative part of town. The area became the site for various government buildings including the Town Hall in 1867.

Barrack Street was subdivided in the 1890's. A number of lots with narrow frontages were created but a number of investors bought adjacent lots to develop larger buildings.
