A Metroland Art Deco Villa in White - Coonans Hill
This cottage style villa with its low slung tile roof in a mixture of shades, white stucco work and picked out brown and red feature bricks in geometric patterns may be found in the Melbourne suburb of Coonans Hill.
Houses like this were popular amongst the newly moneyed middle-class who could finally afford to buy their own homes. Comfortable and cottage like in the Metroland style of interwar Art Deco architecture so popular in Australia during the late 1920s, this house and many others like it represented stability and respectability, without being showy. The owners of this villa were obviously well off enough to have a motorcar as a small garage matching the house appears to the right of the photo at the end of a driveway. The garage sill features its original doors with small, square windows.
This house has an appropriately charming cottage garden with standard roses and a bird of paradise plant, which judging by its size, was probably planted when the house was first built.
