A Streamline Moderne Villa - Ballarat

Built between the two World Wars, this wonderfully stylised Streamline Moderne Art Deco Villa of clinker brick is in one of the finer suburbs of Ballarat.

 

The villa is large and stand alone, with its original garage next to it. The clean uncluttered lines of the villa attest to the architectural fashions of the Art Deco movement during the 1920s and 1930s. Streamline Moderne features include the brown brick banding mid way around the wall and the top of the enclosed vestibule. It also features large sash windows.

 

A house of this style would have appealed to a moneyed upper-class Ballarat family who wished to express their chic artistic advancement, and would have displayed their wealth and standing in the Ballarat community.
