Bondi Pavilion
The Bondi Surf Pavilion in Sydney, Australia, constructed in 1928, is a building of historic significance and has been listed by the Heritage Council.〔Heritage Council, "Bondi Surf Pavilion" Online reference http://www.heritage.nsw.gov.au/07_subnav_01_2.cfm?itemid=2620255〕 According to the National Trust it "has come to represent the Australian culture of beach bathing and outdoors living".〔National Trust, News Release, 16 November 2007, Online reference http://www.nsw.nationaltrust.org.au/media/files/2007/november/media-16-11-07.pdf〕 The pavilion is managed by Waverley Council.
==Background==
Around 1900 harsh legislation restricted sea bathing. This changed with the establishment of the Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club in 1906. There were no dressing sheds at Bondi, as bathing at that time was not a popular pastime. People went to the beach for a picnic, but they seldom went swimming.〔White, C. "Picnicing, Surf-Bathing and Middle-Class Morality on the Beach in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, 1811–1912", ''Journal of Australian Studies'', No 80, 2004.〕 However, from the beginning of the twentieth century the popularity of surf bathing began to grow. In 1905 Waverley Council agreed to the construction of two dressing sheds – one for men and one for women〔''Sydney Morning Herald'', 22 August 1905, p. 9.〕 (the ladies' shed is shown in the centre photo below) – although it soon became apparent that these sheds were not adequate, as they seem to have lacked roofs. One lady complained in 1910 that people passing in the tram could see those in the sheds dressing and undressing.〔Letter to the Editor, ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 17 January 1910, p. 8.〕 Consequently, Waverley Council asked for tenders for the structure and accepted a bid for £3,000 submitted by Taylor and Bills. The new sheds were completed in 1911 and was affectionately dubbed 'The Castle' of 'Castle Pavilion' in reference to its distinctive turrets. The new dressing shed is pictured below (far right photo) and was described in detail in the ''Sydney Morning Herald'':
Bondi now boasts not only the most up-to-date surf bathers' accommodation in the State but also the Commonwealth. It is provided with facilities for 1000 bathers and (building ) is divided into two sections providing accommodation for 750 men and 250 women. Bathers' compartments are separated by asbestos sheet partitioning and the floor is wholly of concrete to ensure cleanliness. Besides shower-baths and other necessities for bathers the front of the building is devoted to the purposes of a tea-room which is capable of holding a large number of persons while wide verandahs on the seaward side are also designed for tea parties.〔''Sydney Morning Herald'', 3 October 1911, p. 5.〕
