Description:
The Civic, built in 1940, is a grand art deco architectural tribute to the Hotel industry. Despite being built in the depression of the 1930's, the Civic was designed and constructed to be one of the most physically impacting art deco buildings in Australia. The art deco elements of space and volume, extensive use of windows and natural light, glass blocks and indirect lighting were employed in the creation of the Civic Hotel and resulted in the classification of the building with the Heritage Council of Australia. The Civic Hotel comprises 3 floors - the bar (”saloon”), the club (”underground”), and the restaurant.
