Beacon Royal Yeoville

Built in 1934, when blocks of flats were going up all over Yeoville and Bellevue, Beacon royal was designed the brothers Obel and Obel. An Art Deco gem, with speed lines running around the corner, it is a landmark building in a suburb where the style flourished in the 1930s. The place became a beacon of hope when rescued from hijackers in 2005. (Blue plaque inscription)
