Perth Trades Hall, Heritage building at Beaufort Street, Perth, Australia
Perth Trades Hall is a three-story building with neo-Georgian architecture located at Beaufort Street in Perth. The structure features classical architectural elements and a prominent portico entrance that defines its facade.
The foundation stone was laid in 1911 by Prime Minister Andrew Fisher, marking a milestone for the trade union movement in Western Australia. The building later became a symbol of the labor movement in the region and shaped its history.
The building represents the labor movement in Western Australia and has served as a central gathering place for trade unions since its founding. Visitors can see the spaces where various organizations meet and conduct their business today.
The building is viewable from outside and located in a central area of Perth, making it easy to access. Visitors should note that it is an active union headquarters and access to interior spaces may be limited.
After being purchased by the CFMEU union in 2013, the building underwent comprehensive restoration that combined historical features with modern facilities. This renovation allowed the site to preserve its past while functioning as a working union center.
