This concrete sign is on a laneway wall at the back of the Capitol Theatre designed by Walter Burley Griffin & Marion Mahony Griffin and openned in 1924. Today the theatre is owned by RMIT University who use it for lectures and other functions.
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.
Dave do you have one of the exit sign inside? Thought I had one and cant find.

Hi Robin
ReplyDeleteNo I don't. Is the sign in the auditorium or the arcade?
