A House on the Golf Links Estate

Golf Links Estate, Camberwell

A stunning Art Deco house on the Golf Links Estate in Camberwell. The owner was doing some work in her garden and allowed me to step over the low wall and take some clearer photos.

Edifício Niemeyer, Belo Horizonte

No apologies for another non-Deco building. This is Edifício Niemeyer, a modernist building in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer it was constructed in 1954.

Darwin D Martin House, Buffalo

Time for another of my favourite non-Deco buildings, the Darwin D Martin House in Buffalo, NY. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905.

A House in Bendigo

House, BendigoI spied the back of this house driving around Bendigo and I'm glad we went around the block for a better look. What a beauty it turned out to be. Perhaps not the best surroundings at the moment with a bit of landscaping work going on in the garden and the footpath along the front but a stunning deco home none the less.

I con't know what is going on with this apartment building on the corner of Franklin Street & Broadway in Pacific Heights. I suspect something has been added to the roof of the original building but perhaps it was designed that way.

One thing for certain though, it has the most amazing decoration around the entrance.

Letterbox, Golf Links Estate, Camberwell

Letterbox, Golf Links Estate

It is very common to see, around Melbourne, the slot of a letterbox worked into the bricks of the the gatepost or wall of the average suburban house. However I have never seen another one shaped like an arrow as this one on the Golf Links Estate in Camberwell is.
