Designed by local architectural firm Terry and Oakden, the former Wesleyan Church of Ballarat was constructed between 1883 and 1884. Built on the corner of Lydiard and Dana Streets, on the crest of a steep hill, the former Wesleyan Church is architecturally significant as an important and essentially intact example of the work of the prominent firm of architects Terry and Oakden.
The Gothic design of the former Wesleyan Church, which skilfully handles a difficult site, is important as a striking example of polychromatic brickwork. The elongated windows of the former Wesleyan Church, with geometric tracery, are also of significance for their notched brickwork diaper patterns, together with the horizontal wall banding the lozenge motifs.
The buildings are of historical significance as a symbol of faith and identity of the Wesleyan community in Ballarat, which was, at the time of construction, was one of the wealthiest cities in Victoria, indeed Australia, at the time.
The buildings are significant in their ability to indicate the aspirations and values of Wesleyans in the colony in the Nineteenth Century. Whilst Wesleyans typically constructed austere chapels, it is probable that this elaborate church at Ballarat was intended to be a symbol of the faith of Ballarat Wesleyans.

Built between the two World Wars, this wonderfully stylised Streamline Moderne Art Deco Villa of clinker brick is in one of the finer suburbs of Ballarat.
The villa is large and stand alone, with its original garage next to it. The clean uncluttered lines of the villa attest to the architectural fashions of the Art Deco movement during the 1920s and 1930s. Streamline Moderne features include the brown brick banding mid way around the wall and the top of the enclosed vestibule. It also features large sash windows.
A house of this style would have appealed to a moneyed upper-class Ballarat family who wished to express their chic artistic advancement, and would have displayed their wealth and standing in the Ballarat community.
Although not famous for its Art Deco architecture, the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat, which was established between the 1860s and 1880s when the area was at the centre of a gold rush, does have some fine examples of interwar and post war architecture when the gold boom was replaced with wealth generated through grazing and agriculture.
During the 1920s and 1930s, those people thriving from farming or local industry had plenty to spend in local shops. This wonderful Art Deco facade (circa 1925 - 1930) belongs to the PPL Building in Ballarat's main shopping thoroughfare, Sturt Street. Whilst the street level may have fallen victim to the changes in marketing, the upper floors remain unchanged by fickle owners. It still retains its striking minimalist Art Deco design. It features the building's name in a rounded cartouche on the building's corner facade which overlooks Albert Street. The PPL Building has a stylised stepped roofline, long spandrels with rounded edging and glass brick windows, all of which were popular architectural features of the Art Deco movement in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The rounded edges are very representative of the Streamline Moderne movement, and the building is everything a smart and successful business would want in the booming interwar years in Australia.
Located on Ballarat’s Doveton Street, the former Lutheran Church was built in 1876 to the grand designs of local Ballarat architect C. D. Figgis and was constructed by Taylor & Ellis.
The church building is architecturally quite striking with a formal composition with elements of a Ruskinian Italian Gothic style. It features with banded brick arches, Lombardic motifs and an attenuated version of a stepped arcaded corbel table leading to the central tower. The tall blind arcading of the tower is similar to the Campanile at Venice. The tower has an arcaded corbel table with trefoil arches, above which is a parapet with quatrefoil openings surmounted by a slate clad pyramidal roof. The lower part of the building consists of more conventional elements. There are two occuli in the gable ends flanking the tower and the banded Gothic openings have nail head brick label moulds. At the base of the tower there are two entrance doors under a Gothic banded arch surrounded by cream brick nail head moulding, and an outer Scotia label mould; these continue down to a low impost height and return horizontally as a string course across the facade. Banded Gothic openings and a patterned string course at low impost height lightens the heaviness of the red brickwork. The side elevation has the same nail head and Scotia string course at impost level rising up as stilted segmental arches over the double lancet windows in each of the five bays. The combination of unusual elements in patterned relief brickwork, and the imposing superimposed Venetian Campanile combine to make this a unique church composition.

Hiding behind its original low brick wall and a hedge, this neat, stylised Mock Tudor "Metroland" 1920s villa is situated in the finest section of the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds.
Well proportioned, this stand alone villa uses red and brown feature bricks to their full advantage as decoration on the large stuccoed brick gable. To add to its bucolic cottage like appearance, the window to the far left of the photograph is arched and rather Mock Tudor in appearance. Even the lamp to the right of the Mock Tudor window is in keeping with the old English feel.
This style of house would have appealed to the newly moneyed middle-classes who could finally afford to leave the inner city buy their own homes in the burgeoning suburbs. Comfortable and very English, it would have shown respectablity and moderate wealth without undue showiness.
Moonee Ponds, like its neighbouring boroughs of Ascot Vale and Essendon, was etablished in the late 1880s and early 1890s. However, unlike its neighbours, it was an area of affluence and therefore only had middle-class, upper middle-class and some very wealthy citizens.

"Riawena" is a wonderfully stylised Streamline Moderne Art Deco Villa in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury. Its name is taken from the Australian Aboriginal word for "fun" or "sport", which is an unusual choice in the 1930s, when so many people were naming their houses after English or American places.
Standing on the corner of a busy main thoroughfare and a much quieter side street, this well proportioned stand alone villa features the clean uncluttered lines of Streamline Moderne design, including windows of leadlight and stained glass set in geometric patterns.
Multiple spiraling stripes in purple and pink on a beaded bead accented with tiny pearly white beads dangle from delicate long kidney earwires.
Starting with a flattened oval wooden bead and delica beads, I wove a spiral pattern around the core bead using peyote stitch. Peyote stitch is an off loom bead weaving stitch where each tiny bead is woven in by hand using multiple passes of thread. The tops and bottoms of the beaded beads are finished with tiny pearly white rocaille beads.
I added silver plated bead caps and silver plated wire and hung the lightweight beaded beads from long silver plated kidney earwires for a clean, contemporary look.
• Dimensions: The overall length from the very top of the ear wire to the bottom of the beaded bead is 2.75 inches (7 cm), and the beaded bead is .75 inches (1.9 cm) at the widest point.
These wonderful Functionalist Moderne red and brown brick flats with a rounded porch, porthole windows (featuring leaping gazelles) and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Functionalist Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. Even the balustrade to the far right of the photograph, and the two lamps on the wall just above it are Functionalist Moderne in design.
This stylish Art Deco block of two flats, featuring one dwelling above the other with an interconnecting staircase would have suited those of comfortable means who could afford to live in Trvancore (the suburb in which these flats are located), and dispense with the difficulties of keeping a large retinue of staff.
Travancore is a bijou suburb named after a beautiful Victorian mansion erected in 1863. The mansion's grounds were subdivided in the late 1890s to form the new suburb, which consists only of only about five streets. With commanding views of Royal Park, the area was much sought after by aspiring middle and upper middle-class citizens.

Whee doggy, it was a solid evening and a good morning for drop shots. Rain in the evening. Mist early in the morning. Gray, bleak, dreary -- a perfect time to run out, get damp, and snap some droplet shots.
Though, yet again, the neighbors surely wonder what the heck I'm up to.
True story: the other day, I was out there taking shots, and the (newish) neighbors had their children out there, and when I appeared, they quickly ushered them inside, like I was some kind of tiger shark entering the perimeter (or, more likely, they feared I was some kind of pre-vert, when really, I'm just some macro-obsessed weirdo).
Good times.
I'll be bouncing around photostreams while I have a free moment, today.

After the Great War (1914 - 1918), a new generation of young people who had survived the war years wanted nothing more than to live their lives in a way that challenged their parents' conventions. They longed for independance and no longer wanted to live in the Victorian and Edwardian villas that were their family homes.
Somewhere like these Arts and Crafts style aprtments in the provincial Victorian city of Ballarat would have suited the newly independant young woman or a well-to-do bachelor. With its Arts and Crafts brick detailing, pebble-dash wall treatment and large windows, this small block of boutique flats would have been light filled and comfortable, as well as being spacious enough to create a new kind of gracious living, without the need of a retinue of servants.
This block with its brickwork, angular roofline and leadlight windows is typical of the post war Arts and Crafts movement that came out of England.
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.
We set out to find out. More than three will definitely fit, by the way.
Yesterday Hannah was struck by an idea and ten minutes later, BOOM! We had the Scout Book mini.
CUTE, right?
This little guy is still in the development stage, but we're working to roll it out as a micro publishing format soon.
A little book for big ideas.
What would you do with an itty-bitty pocket sized book?

Situated at 25 to 29 Barkly Street in the Victorian provincial city of Ballarat, the former East Ballarat Free Library is to this day, still an imposing building. When it was built in 1867, it must have been even more imposing, as it would have been one of only a few permanent structures in the area, which was filled with tents as the are was hit by goldmining fever.
The East Ballarat Free Library is not only imposing, but has an unusual design using polychromatic brickwork to define separate highly individual elements of the facade, rather like much of the Methodist Church architecture built during slightly later periods. The library is the only known work of the architect C. Ohlfsen Bagge, and dates from 1867. At that date it represents an early use of coloured brick-work in Victoria. The building is of architectural importance as an early example of the polychromatic Gothic Revival style which survives substantially intact with a number of fine interiors including the spiral staircase, the original library, the hall and the pine-lined rear rooms. The construction of the front section of the Barkly Street was completed in 1869. C. Ohlfsen-Bagge acted as honorary architect and the interior design and supervision as carried out by J. J. Lorenz. The builders were Boulton and Fyfe and the interiors were completed by Fly Brothers.
Established in 1862 the East Ballarat Free Library was amongst the earliest of Ballarat's social and educational institutions and when housed in its own building in Barkly Street, the library built up an outstanding collection which was second in Australia only to the State Library of Victoria . It served as a focal point for educational purposes; the school of design founded there in 1870 advancing to become the Ballarat East branch of the school of mines in the 1900s. The library was officially closed in 1973 after a life of 111 years. The books were taken to the Camp Street Library and the Ballarat Historical Society's exhibits were moved from Camp St to the Old Ballarat East Library. In 1980 the Ballarat School of Mines Council presented a proposal to the Ballarat City Council regarding occupying and managing the East Ballarat Free Library as a School of Traditional Crafts. The proposal included maintaining the building in optimum condition. In 1983, land formally occupied by the East Ballarat Free Library in Barkly St was gazetted as a reserve for educational purposes and allocated to the Ballarat School of Mines. In 1987 the former East Ballarat Library reopened after extensive renovations and repairs, as the Management Training Centre of the Ballarat School of Mines.

With people wishing to have smaller and more easily managed houses after the Great War (1914 - 1918), architects began designing new ways of living in the 1920s and 1930s including flats and maisonettes.
This wonderfully stylised 1930s Streamline Moderne pair of maisonettes (two houses joined by a shared central wall), is a perfect example of this new way of living during the Interwar period.
The maisonette in this photograph, which is only one of the two, shows a honeyed clinker brick wall with horizontal bars of brown bricks and geometric patterns in concrete between the streamlined windows, which is completely different to its pair which has round porthole feature windows and a stuccoed brick wall treatment.
This way, even though the maisonettes were joined, the owners did not have to sacrifice their individuality!
Built between the two World Wars, this smart Art Deco style villa in the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Essendon has stained glass windows featuring a fan or sunburst pattern; a motif very much in keeping with the less cluttered lines of the 1920s and 1930s.
