A Metroland Style Villa - Ballarat
This wonderful Metroland Art Deco Villa can be found in the Ballarat suburb of Wendouree.
Well proportioned, this small stand alone villa with biscuit coloured painted stuccoed brick walls features a band of red and brown bricks around the foundations of the building. The picked out feature bricks around the chimney breast and above the windows to either side of the chimney have been made more of a feature with the aid of green paint which echoes the other window frames, surrounds and guttering. The archway enclosing the vestibule is very Spanish Mission in style.
The Spanish Mission style was typically a style that emerged in California during the interwar years and spread across the world.
This style of home was one that aspirational middle-class families in the 1920s saught. Cottage like in style, it is not too showy, yet represented the comfort and modernity that the burgeoning Australian middle-class wanted. Adding to its cottage like appearance, it features latticed leadlight windows.
