The shopfront for the building used to be amazing. It was curved glass with two entrances to the shop at the front with the curved glass curving around to follow in to the shop at each entrance. Then they modernised the front of the shop and now it is disgusting but the ceiling fell in too.
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.
The staff are now human resources, such long words to fit in a sign.
ReplyDeleteVery good point Andrew.
