The "Miami" Bijou Flats - Elwood

Nestled in a quiet Elwood street and shaded by a couple of mature plane trees, the "Miami" bijou flats basks in the dappled mid afternoon autumnal sun.

 

Painted a soft buttercup yellow this block with its stuccoed brickwork rounded windows and doors and metal balcony, is typical of the Spanish Mission style that emerged in California during the interwar years and spread across the world. In the 1930s, when this block was built, Hollwood glamour was all the rage!
