Peter Andrew Barrett is a Melbourne-based architectural and urban historian, heritage consultant and writer.
His interest in buildings and the urban environment began at an early age. He spent endless hours as a child exploring the old city buildings in Melbourne’s western end, where his father’s business was tenanted. It was the 1970s and, at that time, ‘the lowbrow end of the city’.
