Why not check out what
we found, and let us know if you stumble across any other ones.
Searching without success? Here are a couple of handy hints to
locating and photographing a Perth heritage building.
-
Most are usually
surrounded by modern skyscrapers, and live in a permanent twilight
world where the sun never shines. During the Southern Summer
Solstice at around midday, the sun and skyscrapers align for a brief
moment, providing the best possible conditions to locate a Perth
heritage building. Perth Heritage Building Day falls
around the 22nd of December each year.
-
Many have various
forms of road signage, or a nice big bus shelter placed just outside
the front door. These obstructions make taking a photograph
difficult, and in some cases dangerous. Always check for road
traffic, otherwise you'll be history as well.
-
Some are missing a
few of their original parts, like 120 rooms for example.
Others may now include a few non-genuine parts, such as a 50 storey
skyscraper attached to their rear.
-
Access to many
buildings is restricted, unless you conform to it's current use.
If you wish to check out the interior, you may have to order a
gourmet lunch, or have your hair cut.
