Opened in 1975. Autoscope type drive-in, 120 cars, each with ithere own screen, in a circle shape. Address is Seaward Highway at Huffman Road, Date of closure and demolition unknown? Site is now a retail shopping plaza(name unknown?).
The department store was Bairds. Name changed to Myer in December 1969. Myer moved up Murray Street to the old Boans Department store site in 1989. Then used as a music store(Trax) on the ground floor and the basment level on the Murray Street and William Street corner of the building. The rest of the ground floor(murray Street side) was a discount store(Red Dot or King Kong i think?). Building closed down in 2003 by worksafe due to the presense of asbestos. Partly demolished in 2003, or 2004 0r 2005. Part or the department store is still there at the Wellington Street end, now used as the offices of Western Australia’s State Heritage Office. A little bit of the Murray Street end of the building was used in the shops and offices there now, next to Perth Underground Train Station.
I think the ticket office and snack bar is to the left of the top of the escalator, and the screens to the right and right again at the top of the escaltor?
