Art Deco architecture in Melbourne pops up nearly as much as kangaroos in the Land Down Under. When you take a medical job in Australia, learn a bit more about the particular architectural style on walking tours in Melbourne.
From the jaw-dropping Manchester Unity building to the T&G Building, first established in 1926, you'll wander through the center of Melbourne with Robin Grow, author of "Melbourne Art Deco," leading the way. Describing design influences, methods of construction and the history of each building's interior, Grow lights up Melbourne in a way you might never have experienced before.
The Majorca Building is a favorite among attendees of this insightful tour. Now a chic apartment house for art lovers, shopaholics and serious foodies, the establishment boasts an interior that would make any aspiring homeowner swoon. Built in true Spanish style, the historic landmark will stun you when you take one look at the intricate mosaic tile work that covers its lobby floor.
