7. Mount Macedon VIC


The towns around Mount Macedon were established during the Victorian gold rush, 1851- late-1860s, and were "ten-mile" stops on the routes between Melbourne and the Victorian goldfields. In the 1870s, the beauty and coolness of the slopes began to attract members of Melbourne's wealthy social elite and the government released some blocks on the south side of the mountain to the landed and business classes.
 * Consequently a number of grand Victorian homes were established (including one for the state governor) as summer residences. During the 1870s Mount Macedon became a summer '**Hill station**' resort for these wealthy Melburnians.
 * The timber industry had so denuded the entire mountain ranges, that in 1872, the Government saw the need to establish Macedon State Nursery, to encourage the replanting of the mountain and to supply seedlings to all parts of Victoria. This nursery employed many of the former timber industry workers.

 * The invention of the enameled [|clawfoot tub] by Kohler Co in 1883 replaced temporary tin tubs with permanent fixtures. Edwardian bathrooms featured oval-shaped clawfoot tubs with an even rolled trim all the way around, like the Roll Top Cast Iron Clawfoot from Elizabethan Classics for example.
 * Bathrooms were still large and made for family use during this period, but were very much in line with the overall aesthetic of cleanliness.

12. Cosy Federation Interiors
Here I outline the Cosiness that Federation architecture introduced to the people of Australia in their own homes: After the heaviness, clutter and dark colours of Victorian interiors, people wanted something new and cheerful. Edwardian style was a breath of fresh air for the English. [2]  In Australia this corresponds to the Federation period.
 * warmth
 * light
 * comfort

Federation style homes were the first **cosy** suburban and city homes, run without servants, and cosy because all previous styles, including Victorian, used formal or even severe interior styling, meant for show, for receiving and entertaining visitors.
 * The ornamental arch or timber frieze over a doorway symbolizes the entrance to family rooms from formal rooms;
 * The front parlour in a terrace house is a hang-over from that Victorian style, rarely used but perfectly formal, should you wish to //parlez// with an important guest.

**14.** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">**Point Piper Federation** <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0); vertical-align: baseline;">[|Lucy Macken] <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0); font-size: 10.4px; vertical-align: baseline;">October 11, 2014 <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0); vertical-align: baseline;">If anyone needed reminding where Australia's most expensive suburb is they need only look at five sales this year. Every sale above $30 million in 2014 has been in Point Piper, with most of the action centred on just one street.
 * <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Wolseley Road, which has been ranked as one of the world's most expensive streets, has claimed four of the five top sales this year, totalling $135 million, with buyers drawn in by those iconic, gun-barrel harbour views.
 * <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">This week's sale of about $39 million in Point Piper set a new high for 2014 and an all-round nationwide non-waterfront record, eclipsing the $32.4 million paid in 2008 two doors away by Chinese princeling Zeng Wei and his wife Jiang Mei.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Altona, the quietened former Sydney harbourfront party home in Point Piper, has new owners. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No price disclosure but Altona was offered as likely to fetch $60 million plus, so the sale fell short of the Sydney record set when the casino tycoon James Packer secured $70 million at Vaucluse last year.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">16. Architect Robert Hamilton
Architect Robert Hamilton was recognised as the foremost practitioner in th Old English style, designing large and impeccably detailed houses and luxury flats. In fact, Robert Hamilton was the pre-eminent designer of flats, particularly in his trademark Old English style, in Toorak and South Yarra in the 1930s.

According to Cuffley (2007:114) while Hamilton possessed a deep affection for romantic styles in architecture he had a 'practical and inventive talent and was capable of working in a range of styles and to any scale'.

Nonetheless Hamilton is remembered best for his Old English style flats and commercial buildings constructed in Toorak and South Yarra.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: "Comic Sans MS",cursive;"> Art Nouveau Elements
You can identify Art Nouveau style art and architecture by looking for some specific elements. [3] Art Nouveau is rarely so fully in control of architecture: doorway at place Etienne Pernet, 24 ([|Paris 15e]), 1905 Alfred Wagon, architect. || The [|Casa Batlló], already built in 1877, was remodelled in the Barcelona manifestation of Art Nouveau, modernisme, by Antoni Gaudí and [|Josep Maria Jujol] during 1904–1906 || Art Nouveau House in [|Aveiro, Portugal] ||
 * **Flowing Lines:** Art Nouveau is characterized by graceful, sinuous lines. The lines are rarely angular.
 * **Violent Curves:** Some artists referred to the curves in Art Nouveau works as whiplash curves. Rhythmic patterns of curvy lines are characteristic of this art style. These curvy lines connect the images in the art and can even be found in beautified plain items, such as dishes, eating utensils, hardware and furniture.
 * **Organic Subject Matter:** You'll find plenty of flowers, leaves, vines, grass, seaweed, insects and other organic images in Art Nouveau jewelry, hardware, windows and architecture. Examples include images of birds etched into window frames or curled around each other on fabric for upholstery, or abstract lilies drifting around and connecting to each other on dinnerware.
 * **New Materials:** Instead of classic gemstones, Art Nouveau jewelers opted to work with opals and semiprecious stones. Glass art reached a new level of popularity as Louis Comfort Tiffany and Charles Rennie Mackintosh took interest in the new art style. Molded glass, animal horns and ivory tusks became commonly used materials.
