An illustrated love letter to Perth's heritage buildings-Building Stories: Perth reveals their gossipy pasts, surprising transformations, and the everyday stories hidden behind familiar façades. The book explores how buildings evolve-and how their layered pasts continue to shape the city today. From power stations turned wine bars, to cinemas-turned-nothing-at-all, to the deli you didn't realise was once a billiard hall, these buildings aren't relics-they're active participants in Perth's culture, character, and everyday life. Each entry is grounded in rich historical research but told in a lively, conversational tone that invites all readers in-not just architecture buffs. Perfect for fans of urban history, design, travel, slow tourism and the recent wave of books celebrating everyday buildings and community heritage, this book is both a visual delight and a heartfelt exploration of place.
