White Art Deco Villa - Preston - a photo on Flickriver

White Art Deco Villa - Preston

            This wonderfully stylised Art Deco villa in the Melbourne suburb of Preston has a large street frontage, and would have been home to a large family when first built.

Well proportioned, this stand alone villa has white stuccoed brick walls with picked out brown and red feature bricks in geometric patterns along the interconnecting walls and benath the eaves.  This treatment can also be found on the side gate to the right of the photo and around the vestibule.  The decorated brick edging around the portico can just be seen beyond the camelia at the left of the picture.  It also features leadlight windows with a beautiful fan like geometric pattern picked out in frosted, bevilled and plain glass.  

This house has a beautiful garden with a hedge of fish bone ferns in the bed beneath the window, geraniums to the right of the garden path, a manicured lawn and a large camelia covered in blossoms.
