Not a great time to be tudorbethan
December 11th, 2009
Its been a bad day for tudor revival buildings. Just read that the state government is compulsorily carving up a historic property Westerfield’s to build a new freeway…
The 1929 house it seems was saved through a heritage listing.
On Mount Dandenong a suburb that’s character is defined by the Tudor Revival movement, a double storey interwar tudorbethan home was completely destroyed by fire.

Former Frankston Post Office offered Heritage Protection
March 19th, 2009
The former Frankston post office, built in 1881 on the corner of Davey Street and the Nepean Highway, following temporary state protection, has been recommended by the local council to have permanent heritage protection.
Remodeled as austere interwar art deco during the interwar years, the former post office is one of few remaining heritage buildings left in Frankston’s central area.
The building has achieved some local fame as the current venue of a strip club known as “Kittens”.
