Western Magistracy building [????- ]

Submitted by Admin on Mon, 04/25/2022 - 13:07

I'm not sure when this building was completed, but p.15 of the PWD's annual report for 1954-55 says: 

2.64 Piling was nearing completion and a building contract had been signed for the Western Magistracy, designed by a private architect.

That suggests it was finished in the mid- to late-1950s.

The building is no longer used as a magistrate's court.

Victoria Theatre [1911-1920]

These Flickr comments say it was on the junction of Des Voeux Rd & Pottinger Street. I wasn't sure which corner, but looking at the photo the combination of tram power lines and shadows mean it must be on the NW corner.

Opening / completion date from the attached clipping.

There's an entry for this cinema on the Cinema Treasures website.
