Art Deco Decay - Thornbury
This stylied Streamline Moderne Art Deco Villa in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury, has sadly fallen into decay since it was built.
Standing on the corner of a busy main thoroughfare and a much quieter side street, this well proportioned stand alone villa is quite large, and has its original garage behind it. The clean uncluttered lines of the house, and the speed lines around the pedement and columns of the rounded porch are very Streamline Moderne in design, as is the rounded vestibule window built of glass bricks (which would have been very chic in the mid 1930s when this villa was built). Even the swirled grille on the front door and its two flanking windows are very Art Deco in spirit, as is the original eau-de-nil colour scheme.
The whole property is surrounded by a low fence with plain pillars and wrought iron gate featuring a geometric Art Deco pattern.
