Reference numberE000820-03DescriptionDesigned and built in 1904 by architect Joseph Allen as the Fremantle Trades Hall. The '888' on the facade signifies 8 hours work, 8 hours leisure, 8 hours sleep, which was the initial aim of trade unions. The building was sold in 1968 to become a theatre and from 1974, occupied by a succession of restaurants. In 1981 the Raj Neeshees took out a 6-year lease and operated a restaurant, Zorba the Buddha. In 2011 it was adapted to a residence and won a heritage conservation award.Date2008PhotographerNicholson, Gareth Photograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
