Esplanade Hotel, Perth
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The Esplanade Hotel[1] was a hotel on the northern side of the Esplanade Reserve in Perth, Western Australia. Its demolition in 1972 was controversial because of the building's beauty and popularity.[citation needed]
Its early history appears in James Sykes Battye's 1912 Cyclopedia of Western Australia.[2] Various proprietors owned the property over time, including N. W. Harper, who sold it in 1927 to J. Paxton,[3] whose daughter Elsie May Plowman became sole licensee in 1957.[4]
It was located opposite the Perth Bowling Club on the Esplanade Reserve.[5]
The hotel was one of nine in the Perth area to have orders to remove its verandahs in 1962[6] but its owner Elsie May Plowman responded with a successful court action against the Perth City Council regulation.[4][7]
