A House in Morwell

This looks like a typical Australian weatherboard house but I think the rounded porch and the curved sections of the front windows raise it to something a bit more than that.

Te Kainga, Oriental Bay

As the name says, this is Te Kainga, a block of flats in the Oriental Bay area of Wellington. And that's a nice piece of decorated curved glass in the corner windows.

And it looks like some of the other windows, at least the smaller on in this photo, are even more Art Deco in style.

Square Edge Arts Centre, Palmerston North

I'm really not sure about the colour scheme on this 1945 building in Palmerston North, but then it is an arts centre so maybe they can get away with it.

Number 9 Dream Cafe, Leongatha

I'm sure others will disagree but I quite like the paint job on the Number 9 Dream Cafe in Leongatha. The cafe is one the main South Gippsland Highway as it passes through town so there is lots of passing traffic to draw from.

former T&G Building, Palmerston North

The local council in Palmerston North have done a great job revitalising the central area of town around The Square with bicycle racks, illuminated planters and various pieces of street art. This piece is outside the Regent Theatre on Broadway but it is the building in the background that is my subject today.

It is the former T&G Building designed by Melbourne architects A & K Henderson. It was built around 1938 under the gaze of supervising architects Mitchell & Mitchell from Wellington.

The building is not on a major corner but so far, thankfully, has not been boxed in by larger buildings.

And it seems more colourful than T&G buildings I've seen in Australia.

Yet it is unmistakenly a T&G building.

Peggotty Gifts, Waipukurau

Nice decoration on this 1936 shop in Waipukurau, New Zealand.

Yacht Club Uruguayo, Montevideo

This is the Uruguayan Yacht Club at Puerto del Buceo in Montevideo and this stunning view is effectively the back of the building as seen from the car park.

The club was designed by Jorge Herrán with Luis Crespi and built between 1934 and 1939.

As you move around the building reveals itself in a more familiar Art Deco form with rounded wings either side of the central tower.

Giving us this view from the nearby jetties.

The club was inaugurated in 1939 by Uruguayan President Alfredo Baldormir Ferrari.

Central Hotel, Deniliquin

This is another substantial Aussie Art Deco pub, the Central Hotel in Deniliquin.
