The Padbury Buildings was a building complex in Forrest Place in Perth, Western Australia. It was located the full length of Forrest Place between Wellington Street and Murray Street. They were constructed in 19241925.[1] [2]
It was a low set building adjacent to the higher Boans building, which later was demolished to make way for the Myer building. The city buildings housed a range of businesses, and associations with significant organisations as tenants at various stages.
They were a part of a set of buildings associated with William Padbury (nephew of Walter Padbury) in Western Australia. Due to the location on Forrest Place, it was photographed regularly throughout its history. In 1937 a series of sectional photographs were made along the Forrest Place frontage.
The buildings were demolished in 1987, in preparation for the site of the Forrest Chase complex.[3] [4] In 1990, the buildings and contribution of Walter Padbury were memorialised in Padbury Walk, the walkway between the Carillon City shopping centre and Forrest Chase.
