The Palace of Arts, 1929

Spence & Dower were asked to inspect and report on the Grade II Listed structure which stands in Exhibition Park as the last remaining building from the North-East Coast Exhibition of 1929. Most recently used as a Military Vehicle Museum, it was built as a temporary structure to display art work of international importance during the exhibition. Now unoccupied, the building remains in relatively good condition but is in need of some repair work to prevent further deterioration. A feasibility study will be carried out to propose possible future uses for this unique building.
