The much loved space had been a home for Darwin’s LGBTIQA+ community and allies for over 24 years. Now the building that was home for the local community has been demolished.

The Northern Territory Times has published photos of the wrecking ball tearing down the venue which had been deemed an unsafe building.

The Manolis Building was home to a Greek Taverna, a flag shop and the city’s only LGBTIQA+ venue. The owners of the building said they understood it had been a special place for many people.
