The year 1870 was a momentous time in the history of the city of Perth. The tallest building at that time, Perth Town Hall, had just opened. It was followed in 1871 by the arrival of the city's first powered road transport vehicle. It traversed the city streets to begin a massive reliance on motor vehicle transport.
