State Buildings

The State Buildings occupy the corner of Saint Georges Terrace and Barrack Street, defined by their slate and copper mansard roofs and intricate stucco decoration. This complex of three interconnected heritage buildings served as the center of government operations for over a century, housing the Treasury, the General Post Office, and the offices of the Premier and Cabinet. In the state’s colonial history, this spot marks point zero, the location from which all road distances in Western Australia were measured.
