In Melbourne Art Deco, Robin Grow, President of the Art Deco & Modernism Society, examines the rise, fall and resurgence of Art Deco in Melbourne from the 1930s to the present day. With contemporary images by David Thompson and a team of photographers, supported by archival material, Melbourne Art Deco offers an invaluable insight into history and current state of one of the city's most popular styles.
I was just walking past these on Tuesday, you did well to get a picture without loads of cars in the street. They are in such a great position on the corner, they really stand out.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what date they would be?
Hah. I took these pictures on Wednesday afternoon so I'm glad the cars kept away.

Lovely details and brickwork. Makes me think of a lot of what we see in Queens.
