The 1910 Perth Technical School building is located at 137 St Georges Terrace, Perth, Western Australia, adjacent to the Old Perth Boys School building, which had served as part of the school's former temporary premises since opening of classes there on 16 May 1900.[1]: 3 

A restrained and incomplete example of the Federation Free Medieval architectural style,[2] designed by government architect Hillson Beasley, this is one of the few examples of the style surviving in central Perth.
