Bulolo Flats, Art Deco apartment building in Fortitude Valley, Australia.

Bulolo Flats contains eight self-contained brick apartments across two floors, featuring private entrances, kitchenettes, and individual bathrooms at McLachlan Street.

Thomas Charles Beirne commissioned the construction of this residential building in 1934 to provide housing for female employees of his department store.

The residential complex marked a shift in social norms by offering independent living spaces for working women during a period when such arrangements were uncommon.

Each apartment includes a bed-sitting room, sleep-out area, kitchenette, and bathroom, with access to shared laundry facilities on the rooftop.

The Romanesque architectural design by Hennessey, Hennessey & Co incorporated decorative elements while maintaining functionality for its female residents.
