Well who knew! In Fremantle this week to pick up my fabulous lampshade we pulled in to park on High Street, not our usual carpark, take a look at what greeted me on the street! Victoria Hall, built in 1896/7 as a parish hall, renamed in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Saved from demolition in 1974 it is now home, since 1986 to the Fly by Night Musicians Club, a 'not for profit member based community arts organization'.. pretty cool venue oui! I love jazz and I like the look of QV Hall, a combination of the two may have to happen in the future :) TGIF, have a good one, take care and stay safe.. P.s. Those Victorian details below could do with a dusting :)
...to think that this beauty needed to be saved from demolition!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely building.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous building!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building. Glad they didn't tear it down, that would have been a very bad move.
ReplyDeleteVery nice building! Arianna
ReplyDeleteThat is one fine looking building. Just imagine what some TLC would do for it. It would sparkle!
ReplyDeleteIt's a real beauty, Grace!
ReplyDeleteHow great is that? I don't think it could have had a better repurposing. Me like jazz, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No photo of the lampshade?
ReplyDeleteThat is a grand building. Good that it's still there!
ReplyDeleteI'll say. And not just a feather duster. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful example of late Victorian. Better that is looks a bit rough around the edges than having bad work done to it. Glimpses of more modern architecture next door, which could well be what is on the site if this had been demolished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of this historic hall. Bet the inside looks great also.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is quite a structure!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty looks like a perfect place for a music hall. Your public demands a visit and report.
ReplyDeleteSure is a wonderful building Grace.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely building from the outside.
ReplyDeleteGood thing it was safed, Grace, such a beauty.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was saved, it is a beautiful building. Have a good weekend Diane
ReplyDeleteGreat that it was saved from demolition, old architectural buildings should always be saved! Have a great weekend Grace.
