Outram Street is a 750-metre-long (0.5 mi) [1] street, named after Sir James Outram, in West Perth. [2]
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]
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]
Some of the structures like the Outram Street Terraces (number 74-82) [9] have been on the Interim Heritage Register since 2000.
