"The architectural design of O'Neil Ford demonstrates his ability to design a residence intimately tied to its setting. This home rests on the banks of one of North Dallas' highly sought after neighborhoods taking full advantage of the meandering creek and approximately 1.19 acres of mature landscaping. As one of the most significant modernist homes in Dallas, it has been painstakingly returned to its original splendor over the last several years at the hands of a well-known interior and art designer from Los Angeles. Collaborators of the original home include landscape design by Arthur and Marie Berger, landscape lighting by John Watson, interior lighting by Lynn Ford, and Scott Lyons designed an addition to the home in 1961. O'Neil Ford is widely regarded as the most important Texas architect from the 20th century and this important home is a hidden gem that speaks well for small modern residential design." - Ellen Terry, Realtors

Alderley is a residential suburb, 6 km north of Central Brisbane. It is on the Ferny Grove railway line (1899) and adjoins the south side of Kedron Brook.
An elevated suburb, it was described as worthless bushland inhabited by a few cattle and settlers, with clayey soil suitable for bricks and pottery. The origin of the name is uncertain. Alderley Edge is a panoramic hill south-west of Stockport in Cheshire, England. In any event, the name came to the district in 1882 when the Alderley post office was opened, and confirmed in 1886 when the Alderley Arms Hotel in Samford Road was licensed.
The Raymont family planted Brisbane's first vineyard in the region in the 1860s. The Raymonts went on to operate the post office, store and, in the 1920s, a petrol station in Enoggera Road. Raymont Road commemorates the family's contribution to the development of the suburb.
In 1899 Alderley railway station was opened on the Enoggera railway line, serving mainly rural interests. Fifty years were to pass before the Samford Road tramline was extended through Alderley, a belated recognition of Alderley's urban growth. In the 1920s the post office directory recorded a few stores in Samford Road, two blacksmiths, the hotel, a Baptist church and a picture theatre. By 1949 there were several more shops, Anglican, Catholic and Methodist churches and several industries: Alderley Biscuit factory, Monier Pipe Co and, in Royal Parade, a boiling down works. On the north-east side of the railway, between Newmarket and Alderley stations, there was the Newmarket brickworks (1912-87). The heritage-listed chimney in Mina Parade marks its location.
There is no school in Alderley. The main recreation area is Sedgeley Park, which has a swimming pool. A sense of open space, however, is gained from Alderley's allotments. Shops are at the junction of Samford and South Pine Road, with a drive-in supermarket.

Mansfield, one of a group of three residential suburbs around Mount Gravatt named after Queensland public figures, is 11 km south-east of central Brisbane. Named in 1967, it remembers Sir Alan Mansfield (1902-80), who was Chief Justice (1956-66) and Governor of Queensland (1966-72).
Mansfield lay between Mount Gravatt East and Bulimba Creek, and its eastern boundary was later extended in part beyond the creek to the Gateway motorway (1986). At one time Sir Alan Mansfield had lived in the area near the Mount Gravatt East primary school, south-east of the corner of Newnham and Wecker Roads. During the interwar years most of the land was subdivided for seven to ten acre farms. Mount Gravatt was an early postwar suburb and Mount Gravatt East followed in the 1950s; its primary school was opened in 1955 and within ten years much of the modern street layout in Mansfield was defined. Land was reserved for education, which opened with Mansfield primary (1970) and Mansfield high (1974). Further away, on the east side of Bulimba Creek, the Christian Outreach College was opened in 1978.
The mid-1960s street layout included Cresthaven Drive and several adjoining streets with Aboriginal names. The Cresthaven estate was built by the State Housing Commission. In the early 1980s the private-sector Green Meadows estate was built, reputedly the place where the new-rich set up house. Gretna Green estate in the north of Mansfield was developed by a Bruce Small company.
Mansfield has linear parklands along Bulimba Creek, including Cresthaven Park. There is a shopping centre in Aminya Street and regional facilities in Upper Mount Gravatt. In addition to the schools already mentioned there is the Brisbane Adventist College (1966). There is a large industrial estate on Mansfield's western boundary and extensive parklands along Bulimba Creek.

Set back from the road in a simple, yet well established garden, this wonderfully sleek and stylised Art Deco mansion may be found near to Lake Wendouree in the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat.
The clean uncluttered lines of the mansion are very Streamline Moderne in design. The mansion is made almost entirely of clinker brick, with the exception of some brown feature bricks along the angular, flat roofline. It features a wide circular sun deck balcony and a very tall chimney, both signature design elements of Ballarat’s most renowned architect of the 1930s, Herbert Leslie Coburn (1891 – 1956). Built in 1939 for a well-to-do member of Ballarat’s interwar society it cost £1,800.00, no small amount of money in the late 1930s. It has very functionalist windows which flood the mansion’s rooms with light. Aside from a small amount of wrought iron balustrading, a matching grille on the front door and the small band of feature bricks, it is entirely devoid of decoration. The whole property is surrounded by its original clinker brick wall with brown feature brick decorated newel posts.
Ballarat born Herbert Leslie Coburn grew up to be a renowned Ballarat architect, practicing from 1905 to 1956. He taught Architecture and Building Construction at the Ballarat School of Mines from 1922, resigning in 1948 due to ill health. The Royal Victorian Institute of Architects awarded Herbert Coburn a Silver Medal for the designs of an Anglican Gothic Suburban Church in 1913 while he was still a student of the institute. In 1917 Herbert became associated with Percy Richards, and they formed a partnership in 1918, Richards, Coburn, Richards, which lasted until 1933, when they separated owing to artistic differences. Whilst Percy Richards wished to retain a more traditional style in keeping with the popular conservative tastes of their clients, Herbert Coburn wanted to be at the vanguard of architectural design and was very interested in following the sleeker and stylised designs of the Streamline Moderne movement which was coming out of Europe. Herbert Coburn therefore started his own architectural practice. Coburn studied for formal qualifications by correspondence with the International Correspondence School, obtaining an architectural diploma two years later. His rooms were in the Clyde Chambers at 313 Sturt St, Ballarat. He was a Fellow of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects. Some of Herbert Coburn's architectural achievements include: St Patrick's Primary School in Drummond Street Ballarat (1935), the Shire of Wimmera Council Offices in Firebrace Street Horsham (1936), Paterson's Furniture Store in Horsham (circa 1936), the Railway Hotel in Maryborough (1938) and the clock tower of the Stawell Town Hall (1939). In addition to these, there are many beautiful, well designed and executed modernist Art Deco villas around Ballarat that bear his distinct architectural style.
The community minded Herbert Coburn was elected a Councillor with the City of Ballarat in 1938, and Mayor in 1945. Herbert’s motivation was the 'proper development and advancement of his city.' He held the position of Councillor until 1952.
Sitting amid the beautiful Carlton Gardens, the Royal Exhibition Building is a World Heritage Site-listed building at the north-eastern edge of Melbourne’s central business district.
The interior is heavily decorated in true Victorian style. Beaneath its central dome it features lunettes of allegorical symbolism including one of "Federation" (pictured); and profuse hand stencilled decoration, all of which has all be painstakingly restored in recent years.
The Royal Exhibition Building was designed by the architect Joseph Reed, who also designed the Melbourne Town Hall and the State Library of Victoria. According to the architect, the design was inspired by many different sources. The dome was modeled on the Florence Cathedral, while the main pavilions were influenced by the style of Rundbogenstil and several buildings from Normandy, Caen and Paris.
The foundation stone was laid by the then Victorian governor George Bowen on 19 February 1879 and it was completed in 1880, ready for the Melbourne International Exhibition. The building consisted of a Great Hall of over 12,000 square metres and many temporary annexes. In the 1880s, the building hosted two major International Exhibitions; the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880 and the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition in 1888 to celebrate a century of European settlement in Australia. The most significant event to occur in the Exhibition Building was the opening of the first Parliament of Australia on 9 May 1901, following the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January. After the official opening, the federal government moved to the Victorian State Parliament House, while the Victorian government moved to the Exhibition Building for the next 26 years. On 3 September, the Australian National Flag was flown at Royal Exhibition Building for the first time. On that day Prime Minister Edmund Barton announced the winners of a competition to design a flag for Australia. The buildings were a venue for the 1956 Summer Olympics, hosting the basketball, weightlifting, wrestling, and the fencing part of the modern pentathlon competitions. As it decayed, it became known derogatively by locals as The White Elephant in the 1940s and by the 1950s, like many buildings in Melbourne of that time it was earmarked for replacement by office blocks. In 1948, members of the Melbourne City Council put this to the vote and it was narrowly decided not to demolish the building. The wing of the building which once housed Melbourne's aquarium burnt down in 1953. During the 1940s and 1950s, the building remained a venue for regular weekly dances. Over some decades of this period it also held boat shows, automobile shows and other regular home and building industry shows. It was also used during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s for State High School Matriculation and for the Victorian Certificate of Education examinations, among its various other purposes. Nevertheless, the grand ballroom was demolished in 1979, leaving the main structure in place along with annexes constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. Following the demolition of the grand ballroom, there was a public outcry which prevented the main building from also being demolished.
During a visit to Victoria in 1984, Princess Alexandra (Queen Elizabeth II's cousin) bestowed the royal title on the building and it has been referred to as the Royal Exhibition Building ever since. This title, and the first conservation assessment of the building undertaken by Alan Willingham, sparked a restoration of the interiors of the building in the late 1980s and 1990s, and the construction of a mirror glass annexe (which was later demolished). In 1996, the then Premier of Victoria, Jeff Kennett, proposed the location and construction of Melbourne's State Museum on the adjacent site. Temporary annexes built in the 1960s were removed and in 1997 and 1998, the exterior of the building was progressively restored.
On 1 July 2004, the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens was granted listing as a World Heritage Site, the first building in Australia to be granted this status. The heritage listing states that "The Royal Exhibition Building is the only major extant nineteenth century exhibition building in Australia. It is one of the few major nineteenth century exhibition buildings to survive worldwide."
