A Metroland Style Villa - Ballarat
This wonderful Metroland Art Deco Villa buried amid a lush garden may be found in the provincial city of Ballarat.
Well proportioned, this small stand alone villa of red brick features banding under the eaves of the building. There are also red feature bricks on the villa's three very tall stuccoed chimneys, and feature bricks over the archways of the porch. The archways enclosing the vestibule are Spanish Mission inspired.
The Spanish Mission style was typically a style that emerged in California during the interwar years and spread across the world.
This style of home was one that aspirational middle-class families in the 1920s sought. Cottage like in style, it is not too showy, yet represented the comfort and modernity that the burgeoning Australian middle-class wanted. Adding to its modern appearance, it features geometric fan style Art Deco leadlight windows at the side and the latticed bay windows on the front facade.
