History
West Perth developed as suburban residential area in the late 1890s. From its inception it had the characteristics of a quality neighbourhood. Proximity to the city centre and Kings Park (then known as Perth Park), and the elevated location provided healthy site drainage as well as cooling breezes and views over the city and hills. The area had social status associated with addresses in Mount Street and access to the city's piped water system.
The area was subdivided into large residential lots for development and priced accordingly. Less prestigious areas also developed in lower parts of the area and adjacent to the railway. The homes built in West Perth from the early 1900s included prestigious mansions built in prominent locations and smaller working class cottages in the narrower back streets and towards the northern end of the area adjacent to the railway.
60 Havelock Street was built c. 1898, a two storey residence at a prestigious address. Henry Sadler, plumber was the first occupant and lived there until c. 1920. After this the place was operated as a boarding house (1925) and apartments (1930), before becoming a single residence again (1949).
Adjacent No 58 was demolished in 1980 and is now a car park. The rear of the building has an addition (No. 60A).
At 2021, 60 Havelock Street has been converted to offices. Inside it retains many original features such as fireplaces, staircase, cornices and skirtings, timber framed windows, and timber floors.
