I do like to take Perth heritage photos. Apparently in the 1970’s & 1980’s many of the old buildings were removed to make way for building boom from the mining. Then people realised oh oh what have we done and are now making an effort to retain and highlight the remaining heritage buildings.

I make an effort to spot existing buildings and here are a few.

We live close to Barracks Arch. The building was dismantled by the local government to by way for the butt ugly highway, must to the dismay of the Perth people. All that remains of the 120 room building is the entrance.

One of our local cafes. Dome cafe tend to acquire original buildings for their cafe’s where they will renovate the interior into a traditional style to mirror the outside.

The Melbourne hotel is a nice looking building. The pub inside is done in contemporary style which also functions as a sports bar.

There is actually a modern building on top of the Wills building. Not so noticeable.
