Iconic Latin House in Marrickville burnt to the ground
Mood:  incredulous
Topic: local news

Our spanish interpreter colleague advised last night this icon of 2 decades or more, favourite social point of diverse Sydney based South Americans, has burnt down 2 am yesterday Sunday 11 October 2009. The Casalatino as it's known is a social gathering point for Latin Australians from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay etc and this fire will be a big loss for them.

Casalatino is located within Addison Rd Centre in Marrickville as per this web page:


 

We are concerned here given the unsolved fire at the Chinese Budhist temple a year or so back in Glebe. Another icon of multiculturalism is the Marrickville Library which was flooded out and closed for a month, also about a year ago.

We made pictures of the Latin House a few years ago here in our work as a web page builder:
