"Imina" a Spanish Mission Style Villa - Ballarat

Built during the late 1920s or early 1930s in a ribbon development along a road where once a tramline ran , this neat Spanish Mission style villa named "Imina" may be found in the Provincial Victorian city of Ballarat.

 

"Imina" is a smart clinker brick residence with red and brown feature bricks. Her name, in stylised wrought iron Art Deco lettering, appears in the centre of the enclosed portico. Her vestibule arches and columns pay homage to the Spanish Mission style. "Imina" also features Functionalist Moderne bay windows.

 

The Spanish Mission style was typically a style that emerged in California during the interwar years and spread across the world.
