Entrance of the Tunbridge Manor Apartment Block - Grey Street, East Melbourne

The very Art Deco entrance to the Tunbridge Manor apartments in Grey Street in East Melbourne are very grand and quite striking with their Streamline Moderne Art Deco design. The detailing on the columns and beneath the porch around the red double front doors are stylish and restrained, which adds to the building's charm, I think.

 

Like the Hayling Apartments (also in Grey Street, East Melbourne) I do not know the date these apartments were built, but the Freemason's Hospital nearby was built in 1929, and the lines are very 30s.

 

Beautiful plane trees help to shade the flats from the summer sun.
