03 THE STORY

About this print

The Bankstown RSL auditorium photographed at an oblique angle. Tall rectangular windows throw sharp panels of sunlight onto a herringbone timber floor, and a raised carpeted section runs the length of the opposite wall. Paint and plaster show the wear of years, the room emptied and quiet. From here it reads as one continuous geometry: the run of windows, the bands of light they throw, and the herringbone underneath.

The angled view is the one that shows the room's proportions as they worked when it was full: the length of the floor, the height of the windows, and a hall sized for the largest weddings and the touring entertainment acts. The Bankstown RSL ran the auditorium across decades as the largest function room in the building, and this geometry shaped the experience of every event held in it. The Bankstown RSL was demolished in March 2019. The auditorium came down with the rest of the building.

On 17 September 1928, 26 returned servicemen of the 1914 to 1918 war founded the City of Bankstown RSL sub-Branch. The clubhouse at 1 Meredith Street opened in 1955, with blue walls under bright red ceilings. The underground sports complex originally held a swimming pool, a squash court, a gym, and a sauna.
