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.
