The Walsh's Building stands out for its bold, oversized arched windows and the intricate decorative brickwork tracing the facade. Completed in nineteen twenty-one, the structure served as a grand department store for a city rapidly growing in wealth from the gold rush. It was the headquarters for the retail empire built by Thomas Walsh, who moved his business into this purpose-built space to showcase imported fashions. The building remains a primary example of the commercial optimism felt in Perth after the First World War.
