There's a great public hall in the small Gippsland town of Trafalgar. The architect was F C Purnell and the foundation stone was laid by the Hon M McGregor MLC on 17 August 1934.
Considering Trafalgar was a small Gippsland town during the inter-war period, this must have been an ambitious building project. I imagine the public hall could have been used for everything - weddings, picture nights, high school farewell parties, Country Women's Association etc
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.
