context_page_description: Embassy Ballroom was a dance hall on the corner of William Street and The Esplanade in Perth, Western Australia between 1928 and 1982.
  When established in 1928 it was across the road from White City and next door to the Capitol Theatre.
  It was opened originally as the Temple Court Cabaret and Tea Rooms.
  The name Temple Court continued after the name change, the building being known as Temple Court, and the ballroom being known as the Embassy.
  The floor was 12,000 square feet of jarrah timber.
  The building was affected by fire in 1933 but was repaired and re-opened the following year.
  The Embassy had, at stages of its operation, its own cabaret events, with orchestra and dancers, called the "Temple court ballet", as well as a band.
  In the 1930s, most large department stores in Perth had staff balls at the Embassy.
  It was a well used venue during and after the Second World War.
  It continued to be a venue for a range of events well into the 1950s.
  It was closed 26 November 1982 and demolished soon after.
