@stuckatthisbit @perthconcerthal @Barnsy_Lisa @BasilZempilas @CityofPerth @StateHeritage Often when I look at Perth buildings I see in my mind’s eye the layered history of the site, buildings going right back to settlement and before, including when it was bush and a place that was possibly important to the Whadjuk people.

House of Sir Alex Campbell, later site of the Christian Brothers College, now site of the #Perth Concert Hall, Adelaide Tce, c1863. @perthconcerthal #colourised @Barnsy_Lisa @BasilZempilas @CityofPerth #PerthHistory @StateHeritage

House at River Road, #Kelmscott, c1929. Difficult to source the exact location of this undoubtedly-demolished home, but there are a number of heritage homes still existing on this street. Kelmscott is one of Perth's oldest suburbs. @CityofArmadale #Perth #colourised @6PRbreakfast

@jones_jpr Exactly. Perhaps most the current owners are bland pension funds with little interest in the property except turning over a buck through retail rent.
