It was located on James Street, Perth and its western end was adjacent to the southern end of Museum Street. The Museum Street section between the former James Street and Francis Street was closed from traffic to create the Perth Cultural Centre.
It was designated as the main building of the Library in the 1930s as the Public Library of Western Australia in Hackett Hall.[1]
There is a hall of the same name at the University of Western Australia main campus.[2][3]
It was photographed at the early stages as a library space.[4][5][6][7][8] It was renovated in 1957,[9] registered as a heritage building in 1992 with the State Register of Heritage Places,[10] and had been listed by the National Trust.
Hackett Hall is now the home of Otto, the WA museum's giant whale skeleton.
