Housing Character
Subiaco is one of Perth's most prestigious heritage suburbs, characterised by Federation-era limestone and brick cottages built during the early 1900s settlement of Perth's western suburbs. These homes feature distinctive front verandas, ornate fretwork, red brick and limestone construction, and original Jarrah timber floors. The City of Subiaco merged with the City of Perth in 2016, and heritage governance now falls under the City of Perth, maintaining all existing heritage designations.
