A touch of Deco..



Two weeks ago I took my camera in for a check up in a camera store in Northbridge. Had to leave it with them for fifteen minutes so took a walk around the block and look what I found.. wasn't expecting that! It's probably fair to say that you can live in a city all your life and there will still be places that could go undiscovered. The City of Vincent Perth Oval has a long and varied history, if interested you can read about it here. What interested moi the most was the gorgeous heritage listed gates here built in 1930. Although described as inter-war Mediterranean style I dispute that :) and say there are definitely classic Art Deco flourishes here, what do you think? Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

  8. Oh Fantastic weather you have there Grace! This building would actually look familiar alongside the American Era designs that are still surviving on our country. But those grills are form a different world! Function meets aesthetics! Love this Grace!
