Tarantella Night Club, Heritage building in Fremantle, Australia
Description
Tarantella Night Club is a three-story stone building on Mouat Street with limestone walls, bluestone columns, and a steep gabled roof topped by a decorated turret. The structure displays solid craftsmanship from the early 1900s with details that echo medieval architecture.
History
The building was constructed in 1903 for William De Lacey Bacon and initially housed a wine merchant business. It was later repurposed and now serves visitors as lodging accommodations.
Culture
Before World War I, this building served as the German Consulate and held diplomatic importance for the port city. Visitors can still walk through the spaces that once hosted official functions and hosted consular activities.
Practical
The building sits in a prominent location in town and is relatively easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that the interior reflects its changing uses over time and not all original details have been preserved.
Did you know?
The building displays the rare use of Federation Romanesque style in Fremantle, an architecture with medieval motifs that differs from the city's dominant neoclassical styles. This makes it a notable example of architectural variety in the port city.
