A Streamline Moderne Villa of Clinker and Brown Bricks - Thornbury
Built on what was formerly a dairy, this 1930s clinker and brown brick Streamline Moderne Art Deco villa in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury is much newer than the Edwardian houses directly across the street. The brown brick horizontal lines along the walls and chimney, the Art Deco swirls on the wrought-iron vestibule grille, "waterfall windows" and the rounded edging of the porch are typical of the uncluttered lines of Australian Art Deco architecture in the late 30s, just before the Second World War. Even the wrought-iron house number and the light to the left-hand side of the enclosed vestibule are very Art Deco in design.
The whole house is surrounded by a well kept garden with trimmed lawns, exotic ferns, camelias, fragrant roses and perennials. The garden path and garden beds are all original from when the garden was set out in the 1930s.
