Old Perth Boys School, Heritage school building in Perth, Australia
The limestone structure features gothic revival elements with a steep roof, narrow vertical windows, and architectural details typical of nineteenth-century colonial buildings.
Constructed between 1853 and 1854, the Old Perth Boys School operated as the first permanent government educational facility in Western Australia until 1896.
The building represents the development of education in Western Australia, evolving from a boys' school to part of Perth Technical College in 1900.
Located at 139 St Georges Terrace, the structure now functions as an educational space managed by Curtin University for community activities.
The original building design included specific architectural modifications to address lighting issues, leading to the addition of galleries in 1854.
