I have seen houses like this in capital cities, but I imagine they stood out more proudly in smaller country towns. What does it remind us of - a grand Deco Italian villa? I am not sure.
Possibly Hels. I think this type of house tends to be larger overseas, perhaps even double-storey. The exception is New Zealand where there seem to bit lots of houses like this all over both islands although a lot of them are smaller and simpler.
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.
I would be picky to criticise anything about this house. It is terrific.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I was waiting for the 'but ...'

DeleteOoohhhh David, this is a beauty and looks well-kept too. Definitely keeping this one bookmarked for inspiration
