The Western Australian Club, which has been running since 1893, has been placed in the hands of administrators, one week after another historic icon - West Perth Football Club, founded in 1885 – took the same path.
The evolution of The Western Australian Club's former premises at 101 St Georges Terrace is continuing, with Guylian Belgian Chocolates to open a cafe in the historic building next month.
The Western Australian Club has retained its St Georges Terrace home, downsizing its presence in the heritage building it recently sold to a scale that it says better matches its revenue.
