Founded in 1871 as a [gentlemen's club](/source/gentlemen's_club), it is named after [Frederick Weld](/source/Frederick_Weld), the chronologically first patron of the club and the [Governor of Western Australia](/source/Governor_of_Western_Australia) at the time. ==Building== {{As of |2022|05}}, the club occupies a building designed by [Talbot Hobbs](/source/Talbot_Hobbs) and constructed in 1892 by the Bunning Brothers, the founders of [Bunnings](/source/Bunnings), for the organisation. It is situated at the corner of [The Esplanade](/source/The_Esplanade%2C_Perth) and [Barrack Street](/source/Barrack_Street%2C_Perth), immediately across the street from [Stirling Gardens](/source/Stirling_Gardens). Appraised for conservation work, it is heritage-listed and has a number of histories of both the club and building published. ==See also== *[Karrakatta Club](/source/Karrakatta_Club) *[Western Australian Club](/source/Western_Australian_Club) {{-}} ==References== {{cite news |title=The Weld Club's New Building |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/77391226 |access-date=15 June 2020 |work=The Daily News |date=2 January 1892 |location=Perth |page=2 }} {{cite book |last=De Serville |first=Paul |title=3 Barrack Street: the Weld Club 1871–2001 |year=2003 |publication-date=2003 |publisher=Helicon Press |location=Wahroonga |isbn=978-0-9586785-7-5 |oclc=223836514 }} {{cite web |url=http://register.heritage.wa.gov.au/PDF_Files/T%20Reg/The%20Weld%20Club%20%28P%29.PDF |title=Register of Heritage Places – Permanent Entry: The Weld Club |date=2003-04-17 |publisher=[Heritage Council of Western Australia](/source/Heritage_Council_of_Western_Australia)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204155058/http://register.heritage.wa.gov.au/PDF_Files/T%20Reg/The%20Weld%20Club%20(P).PDF |archive-date=2012-02-04 |url-status=dead |access-date=2022-05-20 }} {{cite news |title=The exclusive, all-male history of Perth's Weld Club |first1=Kimberly |last1=Howie |first2=Emma |last2=Wynne |date=2014-04-29 |work=[ABC News](/source/ABC_News_(Australia))|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-29/weld-club-perth-history/5416386 |access-date=2022-05-22 }} {{cite book |first1=John |last1=Taylor |author2=Weld Club |author3=Heritage Council of Western Australia |title=Conservation plan for the Weld Club, Perth, Western Australia |publication-date=2002 |publisher=Heritage Council of Western Australia |location=East Perth |oclc=225593708 }} {{cite book |last=Louch |first=Thomas Steane |year=1966 |title=The First Fifty Years: The History of the Weld Club (1871–1921) |chapter=Appendix A: Governor Weld Patron of the Club |location=Perth, Western Australia |publisher=The Weld Club }} {{cite book |last1=Louch |first1=Thomas Steane |author2=Weld Club |title=The History of the Weld Club 1871–1950 |publication-date=1980 |publisher=Weld Club |location=Perth |edition=2nd |oclc=220061686 }} {{cite news |title=Perth's Weld Club laid bare |first1=Myriam |last1=Robin |date=2021-06-21 |work=[Australian Financial Review](/source/Australian_Financial_Review)|url=https://www.afr.com/rear-window/perth-s-weld-club-laid-bare-20210620-p582m9 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621185010/https://www.afr.com/rear-window/perth-s-weld-club-laid-bare-20210620-p582m9 |archive-date=2021-06-21 |access-date=2022-05-22 }} {{cite news |title=Perth's private clubs fail test of time and relevance |first1=Sean |last1=Smith |date=2018-08-04 |work=[The West Australian](/source/The_West_Australian)|url=https://thewest.com.au/business/perths-private-clubs-fail-test-of-time-and-relevance-ng-b88915873z.amp |url-status=live |url-access=limited |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180804115247/https://thewest.com.au/business/perths-private-clubs-fail-test-of-time-and-relevance-ng-b88915873z.amp |archive-date=2018-08-04 |access-date=2022-05-22 }} ==Further reading== *{{cite news |title=Discrimination ruling over Mona's Ladies Lounge raise questions about women-only, men-only spaces |first=Eliza |last=Kloser |date=2024-04-11 |work=ABC News |publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-11/discrimination-ruling-mona-ladies-lounge-when-is-exclusion-ok/103690878 |access-date=2024-04-11 |quote=Men-only and women-only social clubs are allowed under a specific exemption about 'clubs' which can discriminate based on gender for the benefit of club and that it is provided to both men and women separately. }} ==External links== *[https://weld.club/home-visitors/ Official website] Category:Clubs and societies in Western Australia Category:Gentlemen's clubs in Australia Category:Organizations established in 1871 Category:Organisations based in Perth, Western Australia Category:1871 establishments in Australia --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Weld Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld_Club) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld_Club?action=history)).
