Allendale Square is a 32-storey skyscraper in Perth, Western Australia. When opened in 1976,〔〔 the building surpassed the AMP Building to become the tallest completed building in Perth, a title which it only held until 1977 when St Martins Tower opened. ==Site history and construction== The corner of St Georges Terrace and Sherwood Court where Allendale Square now stands was owned as early as 1829 by the Leake family. Later, it was home to Warwick House, the Bank of New South Wales, the Commercial Travellers Association and the Daily News Chambers.〔 These buildings were demolished in 1974 for construction of Allendale Square.〔 The tower, which was designed by Architects Cameron, Chisholm and Nicol,〔 was built by Multiplex. The building's anodised aluminium cladding was extensively weather tested to ensure it could resist atmospheric corrosion. Although this cladding covers a 70% of the exterior of the building, all cladding units were installed from inside the tower without the use of external scaffolding.〔 The building was officially opened by Premier Sir Charles Court on 3 August 1976.〔 Also attending the opening were descendants of the Leake family which had owned the site from the earliest days of the colony.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allendale Square」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
