A Son of the Rock

I was in Perth recently and discovered this building hard by a nondescript retail park near the town centre. It’s called Highland House and has deco leanings. A plaque on its facade states 1921 which would mean this is from the pre-deco era but there are features which are very deco-like especially the nice curved pedimenting to the central portion of the building.

Below shows the curved far end of building. More pedimenting here.

Detailing here includes triangular features above the door (was this once a flag standard holder?) and a protuberance near the left edge of the building in this view.

A couple more photos of Highland House are on my flickr set for Perth.
