Australian Houses of the 20s & 30s

Stylish houses dating from the twenties and thirties can be found throughout Australia's older suburbs - reminders of the nationwide housing boom that followed World War 1. Today these charming houses are perceived as a valuable part of Australia's history.

In this long-awaited reprint of the 1989 classic, expert author Peter Cuffley examines these interwar houses in all their many manifestations - from the cosy Californian Bungalow to the Modern Art Deco house of the 1930s. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully written, Australian Houses of the 20s & 30s, like its companion Australian Houses of the 40s & 50s which has also been reprinted for the new generation, is both a valuable companion for people who own or wish to renovate a house from this era, and an evocative account of Australian cultural history and domestic architecture.
