"Sherwood Lodge" - Preston
Standing proudly on the corner of a busy intersection, "Sherwood Lodge", a pretty stylised white stuccoed brick Art Deco villa in the Melbourne suburb of Preston, shelters beneath a maple tree.
Set well pack from the road, this house with its generous proportions was probably the home of an upper-middle class family of a decent size.
This English manor style with its low slung tile roof in a mixture of shades, white stucco work, picked out brown and red feature bricks in geometric patterns, stylised stepped edgeing beneath the eaves and the Mock Tudor entrance with its brick border (mirrored around the leadlight windows) was popular amongst the newly moneyed middle-classes who could finally afford to leave the inner city buy their own homes in the burgeoning suburbs. Comfortable and very English, the brick name plaque is attached to the chimney breast.
