Aptly named #ThePebbles, this 1920 house on #GeelongRoad in #Footscray is a #CalifornialBungalow on steroids ! Fat pebbly piers supporting complicated woodwork with wildly cantilevered brackets and spiky edged pergolas, and all perfectly intact ! We learned about this in archi school but I’d never stopped to see it up close. Designed by #SchreiberAndJorgenson, not sure what they did before but later did a few Catholic Churches including the Xavier Chapel, a bit of a step up ! That was Ole Jorgenson, older brother of the more famous #JustusJorgensen who in the later 30s set up Monstsalvat. Norwegian, if you were wondering. Old photo @nationaltrustvic, probably 1987. Same bush but smaller.
