Regarding our discussion of Council House, Anonymous Perthon submitted this, also wondering just how people must have felt about the building when it was new. Anon, I’m glad I don’t know where you live, because I would have to kill you for this tray. Should have a few glasses of Weaver & Lock lemonade on it.

Arrgh, the “T” building.
A truly hideous piece of Perth architecture
Thanks for reminding me.

La Plaza, do you mean the (I think) St John Ambulance 1940s building, now a youth hostel?

Well I can assure you LA and LPB that they are separate buildings pretty much side-by-side.
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.

They are both nice buildings.

The tray is Pre Kebab isnt it? Do we have a date on it! 60? Ahh Kebab Stick Terrace, who said Perth’s dull?

Yes, easily the best modernist building in the state (finished 1962 apparently) and definitely one of the best in the country. Thank f^%$ it and that tray weren’t demolished! The building came pretty close I believe.

I seriously believe the Council House is a beautiful piece with a brilliant sense of proportion and one of the very few buildings from the 60s anywhere that is worth keeping. 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.

I don’t have strong feelings about Council House either positively or negatively. 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!

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.
