The shell of the old power station at South Fremantle is a very significant art deco structure, maybe the last of the big industrial examples following the Emu Brewery implosion a few years ago. Btw, check spelling, ? Coronado. Cheers Bjenks ( talk) 15:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I put it in anyway as it was a classic fight a bit like the demise of the esplanade hotel Satu Suro 07:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I suggest that the Raffles warrants an article to itself. The present copy at Canning Bridge#Raffles Hotel should be moved to Raffles Hotel, Perth as a start, and any due disambiguation rigmarole done. The important knowledge about this building is that former owner Abe Saffron applied for its total demolition in 1995, prompting Perth's greatest successful heritage campaign since the saving of the Terrace Tech in 1985. The Raffles campaign was waged for seven long years by local and international activists before a brilliant Art Deco Society team, headed by Dr Rosalind Lawe Davies, saved the building with a successful appeal before the Town Planning Appeal Tribunal. I have sound documentation of these events in published copies of ADSWA's journal Waltzing Moderne and relevant press cuttings which will substantially beef up the article.

@ PerthDeco: I'd recommend adding a reference column to most of the tables. If this became fully referenced, it'd be well on its way to a featured list candidacy. A map of locations of the buildings would also be nice (see List of Broadway Theatres for an example). {{u| Sdkb}} talk 05:46, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
