Very simple, but I imagine that for a family that had always rented until the 1930s, this house was a godsend. Free standing, garden space for the kids and some geometric decoration. I would lose the veranda, however.
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.

ReplyDeleteFor sure Helen. Hopefully the verandah has a very practical purpose because of the prevailing winds but I agree it is not very attractive.
