Michelides Tobacco Factory, Art Deco tobacco factory in Northbridge, Western Australia.
The two-story factory building featured angular geometric patterns and vertical lines characteristic of industrial Art Deco architecture from the 1920s.
Built in 1923 and inaugurated by Premier Sir James Mitchell, the facility operated until 1959 when local tobacco production ceased in Western Australia.
The structure represented a period of industrial development in Perth, marking the transition from small workshops to large manufacturing facilities.
The building changed functions over time, housing Peters Ice Cream operations and later serving as retail space for Tony Barlow Menswear.
Despite National Trust classification in 2013 and preservation efforts by local heritage groups, the factory met demolition in 2014.
