AK Bell Library is a grade A listed building which was designed by Perth City Architect, William Macdonald Mackenzie and operated as an Infirmary from 1836 until 1914 when it became a hospital for WW1 soldiers. Later on, it became a tuberculosis centre and offices for Perth Education Authority before reopening in 1994 as AK Bell Library. These tours are an opportunity to explore the building and learn about the conservation and work that takes place within it.
