==History==
The building, originally known as Lawson Flats, is an eleven storey art deco apartment block, constructed in 1937, by the Colonial Mutual Life Assurance Society.〔''The lofty stature of the double palazzi, rising from the three storey base, is a city landmark. The massive, grand form of the building also makes an important contribution to the streetscape of Sherwood Court. The place is a rare example in Perth of a late 1930s, multi-storey, innercity residential development'' – from http://register.heritage.wa.gov.au/viewplace.html?place_seq=2092&offset=0&view=description.〕〔''Lawson Flats – brief history of the building including names of some former residents, media statement from the Minister for Heritage'' Placed on the State Register of Heritage Places.

Trust news (National Trust of Australia (W.A.)), March 1999, p. 2-3,〕 It included a restaurant and a private club, the Perth Club, at the lower three floors and apartments above. The building was designed by Sydney architects Hennessy, Hennessy & Co in association with local architect, Reginald Summerhayes for rental purposes as a companion piece to the neighbouring Colonial Mutal Life building (1936–1980) on St Georges Terrace. When constructed, the two Colonial Mutual Life buildings were amongst the tallest in Perth. It's landmark status and prestigious location catered for an exclusive market in multi-residential building stock not known in Western Australia prior to the Inter-War years. The design features Spanish Mission and Art Deco styled ornamentation, evoking some of the allure of Hollywood. Internally, the H-shaped plan form provides for four apartments per floor, arranged in pairs in the twin palazzi form towers. During World War Two, the headquarters of the State Cabinet were located in the building.
