Heritage and Modern Housing Styles
Australians have always been fascinated with varying
housing styles, from the charm of the Victorian and Edwardian
era to the triple-fronted mass-produced brick veneer of the late
50's and early 60's, plus a range of many other individual styles.
Whether you are thinking about renovating or buying a property
it is valuable to understand the characteristics of that particular
style of house. This includes its general features, its positive
attributes and its potential for renovation. Below is a list of
some common styles of houses that are found across Australia.
