Assuming this house was built in 1935-39, I wonder if the good burghers of Morwell thought it was modern and a bit risque. Perhaps they were as modern as people in the Big Smoke.
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.

ReplyDeletePerhaps it caused enough fuss to get a mention in the local newspaper.
DeleteI don't mind the doors. They could have have been bronze coloured diamond shaped grid aluminium.
ReplyDeleteThat is true Andrew, at least they've tried something different but maybe the bronze colour (or another colour) would work better than the white.
