But did you know that the original kebab was going to be where the Entertainment Centre is now, and 300 feet (nearly 100 metres) tall?

We got off lightly.

But the tray is awesome! It just screams ‘I’m from Perth, please take me seriously, see I’m a real city with big buildings.’ Civic pride never looked so desperate – I want one!

The kebab stick doesn’t bother me in the slightest either. As for the blood bank no-one would miss it (aesthetically) if it disappeared overnight. Can’t see any signs of art deco in its design.

Thank f^%$ it and that tray weren’t demolished! The building came pretty close I believe.

Ambulance building was flogged-off to YHA about four years ago and then renovated.

Can’t find pic of Red Cross on Flicker, but recall that it’s also a nice Deco building with really crappy lifts.
