The 1920's in Perth was characterised by economic prosperity and expansion. There was considerable migration from Britain and Europe encouraged by government sponsored settlement schemes leading to a period of consolidation in the city with the continued commercial development including the construction of arcades, hotels and commercial buildings. The depression of the early 1930's still saw commercial activity including the construction of cinemas.
Low integrity. Low level of authenticity as only facade remains and loss of original detail at ground floor level.
