Port Town Hall's Art Deco period
Last week I wrote about the different faces presented to Bay St and Spring St by our Town Hall. David Thompson has written here about yet another era of our Town Hall - its Art Deco incarnation. The mayor and councillors' chairs and table in the Council Chamber are all that survive of that period, but David provides a fascintating glimpse into an elegant time in the Port Town Hall's history http://artdecobuildings.blogspot.com The 2012 Port Melbourne Historical and Preservation Society calendar, available from the Port Town Hall, features an almost tactile reproduction of one of the panels that were a feature of the auditorium.
