The Tradesman's Arms Hotel is on the corner of Palmer Street and Liverpool Street, in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. This heritage listed building was designed by Copeman and Lemont and built in 1913 in the Federation Free Classical architectural style. After being refurbished in 2016, it is now known as the East Village Hotel.

Beautifully taken care of. It seems your city has quite a bit of that architectural style.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a boom time for building in Sydney. In fact, the whole of Australia was booming after the Gold Rush.
DeleteInteresting original name. I wondered why they changed it, Maybe they wanted to change its image.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved buildings on corners such as this...:)JP
ReplyDeleteoh! They have the fancy roof top bar now, right? I've not been...
ReplyDeleteApparently there is but I haven't been up there either, Lydia.
DeleteLoved the post and pic
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity.
ReplyDeleteNice building!
ReplyDeleteLooks nice !
ReplyDeleteBay windows in the corner, perhaps? I like the rounded look of the building.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting old building, Jim, and I particularly like the name "Tradesman's Arms" because I spent my working life in the printing and newspaper trade until we tradespersons were made redundant by computers. I belonged to the old International Typographical Union, and we often had Australian printers working with us as they made their way around the world. The name "The Tradesman's Arms" brings back a lot of old memories of the good old days. Of course, now it would have to be "Tradesperson's Arms" which just doesn't have the same ring, but as a female newspaper compositor, I appreciate the idea of inclusion.

Thanks for sharing that, Kay. A tradesman is held in high regard in Australia and nicknamed a "tradie". :)
DeleteCan only imagine the charm of the hotel and the rooms. Thanks for sharing such a nice photo of the building and information.

I USED TO DRINK AT THE TRADEMANS ARMS IN THE EARLY 70S WHEN I WORKED FOR COBBITEE FARM BAKERY NEXT DOOR. THE LANDLORD WAS CALLED KEN. HIS WIFE FELL FROM ONE OF THE UPSTAIRS WINDOWS WHILST CLEANING THEM. ALWAYS REMEMBER ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON WHEN A COUPLE CAME IN. THEY ASKED KEN FOR TWO FALLING ANGELS COCKTAILS. KEN LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID IN A CLEAR VOICE YOU CAN HAVE BEER, WINE OR SPIRITS... OR YOU CAN F... OFF. NEVER REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE EVER VISITING THE PUB AGAIN IN MY TIME DRINKING AT THE TRADESMANS ARMS. WAS ALWAYS A VERY FRIENDLY PUB. GOOD MEMORIES OF MY SHORT DRINKING TIME AT THE TRADEMANS ARMS.
