Overview

Copy received by email of black and white photograph of Riches Subiaco Garage circa 1930. The business faced the eastern side of Rokeby Road, opposite the Council Chambers. Next door is a large house with decorative woodwork on the verandah, a hedge and a picket fence. The other side of the garage appears to be vacant lot. RICHES SUBIACO GARAGE is written across the façade. Two small trucks are parked in front of the garage. Three men and three children are beside the trucks. The tram lines in the centre of Rokeby Road are clearly visible in the foreground
