The Fremantle Trades Hall, completed in 1904 during the gold boom, is a historic two-storey building located in Fremantle, Western Australia. Designed in the Federation Free Classical style, it features a distinctive façade with a decorative parapet and the '888' motif symbolizing the union movement's belief in eight hours of work, leisure, and sleep.
