Albert Hall
Location
Thomas, who had retired to Glenelg due to ill health, died the very same year Albert Hall was finished and it passed into the hands of William Pile. Pile added a magnificent ballroom with an alcove for musicians. At this time, the property included the block of land bounded by Kent Street. It became the Oriental Private Hotel in 1930 and in 1982, a backpackers’ lodge. In the 1990s it was restored as a private residence and, more recently, converted into three apartments.
