A surprise in #ParkStreetSouthYarra – an amazing house pair liberally sprinkled with #ArtNouveau ornament. Rectilinear but richly floral, very Vienna Secession, also seen through Eastern Europe up to Riga Latvia.
Built 1906, designed by #ArthurFisher who did a few other similar things, most notably the demolished Koonwarra in St Kilda Road, 1913. Combined as one guest house as soon as built, I think, and later called Dalgety Inn.
Last sold 2006, and with the dividing wall removed, is it one ginormous house now ? (a follower tells me that’s a yes).
