    This is right near where i work. I noticed it lost a few windows in the hail storms last week. It badly needs a refurbishment.

    Yes, it needs a bit of TLC. The Heritage Assessment mentioned the interior being quite good so I hope that is still OK.

    Please, no. Perth is too quick to refurbish anything slightly worn.

    Its beauty lies in its natural decay, whilst still maintaining its vintage appeal and dreamy aesthetic.

    A bit of natural decay is OK so long as it doesn't develop into 'demolition by neglect'.
