Mortdale, hotel

Mortdale Hotel is located on the corner of Pitt Street and George Street, in the southern suburb of Mortdale. It was built in 1930 in the inter-war architectural style and replaced the Saltwell's Hotel which had operated near Memorial Park since 1895.

  1. I always enjoy seeing these corner buildings, I don't think we have even one here in Perth.. I'd better check that :)

  2. Very Sydney, isn't it? And clever use of architecture on a tricky block of land.

  3. I love those old buildings shaped like this - I think it's called a "flatiron." San Francisco, where I grew up, had a number of old buildings in this style, though in earthquake country as it is bricks are rarely used.

  5. I love all the corner 'flatiron' buildings you have. With our grid pattern streets we rarely see that.

  8. I like this hotel. Triangular plots give the architects an opportunity to show off their skills. The designer of this building did well.

  9. That is a very cool building. Reminds me of a miniature version of the Flatiron building in NY.
