ANZAC House Opening 1934

The original ANZAC House was opened in 1934 by the Duke of Gloucester and was the home of the RSL in Perth until 1976.  Designed by Lieutenant Colonel A R Baxter Cox, ANZAC House featured a club, accomodation for the club manager, offices and the best dance floor in town.

Many dances and functions were held at ANZAC House which was located next to the current premises and the land was the former base of UWA before it moved to Crawley.  

Unfortunately we don't have many pictures of the inside of ANZAC House in our collection but we are on the lookout.  If anyone knows of any or has any then please do contact ANZAC House. 

Check out the slideshow below with images of the opening of ANZAC House in 1934.
