The Historic Precinct in the city is coming into its own. The Town Hall designed by Richard Roach Jewell and James Manning in the Victorian Free Gothic style, the hall was built by convicts and free men between 1867 and 1870. Its decorations contain a number of convict motifs, including windows in the shape of the broad arrow, and decorations in the shape of a hangmans rope. If you ever get the chance, have a look inside the Town Hall, it is stunning. The Treasury Building and Land Titles Offices plus various other buildings nearby and behind Council House offer an interesting and beautiful look back to our convict past as far back as 1831. The Land Titles Building is maybe my choice of Perths most attractive building now exposed after the demolition of the Law Chambers and construction just now of a round library on Hay Street. With the almost complete preservation of the Treasury Building on St Georges Terrace I am looking forward to a tour through the public areas.
