With a lineage stretching back to 1829, Government House and its grounds are among Perth's most important and iconic historic monuments; well-deserving of this first, full-length historical study.

This social history of Government House uncovers life stories of the scores of people who have lived and worked in this grand Victorian mansion and who played a crucial role in the creation and maintenance of Western Australia's social order in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It also describes the design, construction and furnishing of the residence, and the cultivation and landscaping of the surrounding domain.
