Kakulas Brothers and Greek Residential Group - proposed entry in the State Register

P25436 Kakulas Brothers and Greek Residential Group, Northbridge

Overview

The Heritage Council of Western Australia is currently considering whether Kakulas Brothers and Greek Residential Group, Northbridge should be included in the State Register of Heritage Places. The Council believes the place is likely to be of State cultural heritage significance as an important demonstration of the growing cultural diversity and demographic change that took place in WA during the inter war years.

The shop and three residences are being considered as one connected story or place. Its use by Greek migrants from 1929 is indicative of a period when many Greek families, particularly from the island of Castellorizo, moved to Northbridge, which became the social, commercial, and religious centre of Greek cultural life in WA. The place is a rare display of the types of businesses established by these migrants, and where they lived. Registration will celebrate this story and acknowledge the important contributions of non-British migrants to WA.
