Gledden Building, Art Deco office building in Perth, Australia.
The seven-story Gledden Building stands at the intersection of Hay Street and William Street, displaying geometric shapes and decorative concrete panels across its facade.
Construction of the building began in March 1937 and concluded in May 1938, with architect Harold Boas designing it during Western Australia's economic growth period.
Local artists George Benson, Clem Kennedy, and William G. Bennett created friezes depicting regional flora and fauna through a university competition during construction.
The structure contains a two-level retail arcade on the ground floor, with multiple office spaces occupying the upper levels of the building.
This building represents the sole remaining high-rise Inter-War Art Deco office structure in Perth, leading to its protection on heritage registers.
