Outram Street is a 750-metre-long (0.5 mi)[1] street, named after Sir James Outram, in West Perth.[2]
Location
[edit | edit source]The street runs parallel to Colin and Havelock Streets (which are further to the east and closer to the CBD), from Kings Park Road to Wellington Street.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]For a significant part of the early twentieth century, wealthy merchants and politicians had family homes in the street.[3][4] Some of the significant structures from that era remain intact, but with different uses.[5]
By the late 1930s the development of blocks of flats and apartments were beginning to change the landscape of Outram Street and West Perth.[6]
In the transition from residential suburb to concentrated office accommodation, values of land have made it a significant location adjacent to the Perth CBD.[7][8]
Heritage value
[edit | edit source]Some of the structures like the Outram Street Terraces (number 74-82)[9] have been on the Interim Heritage Register since 2000.
