Life on Perth


DEMOLITION STOREY


"So just how did Perth end up with a replica facade of the old Palace Hotel, and an imposing 52 storey skyscraper in its backyard?

The community was concerned enough to form a body known as the "Palace Guards". These guys fought to save the old hotel from potential developers. They formulated most of their strategies in the front bar. Despite their gallant efforts, and the recognition of the building by the National Trust (WA), things didn't quite go to plan."
108 St Georges Terrace plays an important role in the city's rich history.
