This Control Tower and Airport Fire Station was built at Perth's Guildford airport in time for the Commonwealth Games in Nov-Dec 1962. In those days, Area and Approach control (all procedural) was done from the Tower in addition to Aerodrome control! In 1970, a radar control position was established at the new radar at nearby Kalamunda and a new console was installed in the Tower. This Tower was vacated when the current Tower was opened in 1987, although the Fire Station continues in use.
