OLD PERTH # 26

Time to expand a little on this earlier Old Perth post. Going to focus on the building that used to stand at the Wellington St end of the Horseshoe Bridge. The old Railway Offices. Photos taken circa 1923.

The movies being advertised at The Majestic Theatre are "Fools of Fortune" (1922) and "The Buster" (1923), starring Dustin Farnum. Note the Boans building in the background

As cool as these photos are, I think the most striking thing to note is that those bloody roadworks in Wellington St started back in 1923 and god knows when they'll finish em.
