Winthrop Hall, University of Western Australia (UWA)
Winthrop Hall was opened on the 13th April 1932. Its an extraordinary and monumental neo-byzantine stone building with a 45m clocktower, created during a West Australian renaissance of ideas and influences in the late 1920s.
Designed by Melbourne architects Rodney Alsop and Conrad Sayce, the grand Mediterranean-style hall with its imposing clock tower, marble and mosaic foyer and vaulted ceilings, was completed in 1932 and formally opened in a four-day ceremony beginning on April 13.m A Melbourne company, Messrs Ingran Bros, installed the first clock in 1929. The dial was made of opus sectile, an enamel finish on tile. After 1945 Ennis and Sons rebuilt the master clock. The dial was replaced in 1953 with one made of terracotta. In 1964 Mr Ron Ennis installed a new electric master clock
