A Mock Tudor Villa - Ballarat
Hiding behind a high red brick garden wall, this substantial 1920s Mock Tudor villa in the Ballarat suburb of Wendouree, would have been for a larger sized upper-class family.
This house with its high gabled roof line features ornamental white stucco work under the gables with black painted wooden struts to give it a Tudorbethan style, so popular across Britain and her dominions in response to the earlier Arts and Crafts Movement.
This style of house would have appealed to the moneyed upper-classes of Ballarat whose money came from either the Nineteenth Century gold rush, or from the wool or farming industries that developed post the boom. Comfortable and very English, it would have shown respectable and not inconsiderable wealth.
