ART DECO – SPANISH MISSION – ARTS & CRAFT – New Farm 2024 Walking Tour No 1
New Farm - This Guided Walking Tour explores how Art Deco, Spanish Mission and Arts & Craft changed its architectural landscape.
Rediscover New Farm, one of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs. Learn more about its rich architectural heritage.
On this guided walking tour, we will see how the early architects interpreted overseas trends.
From the 1800’s, Brisbane’s social and political elite commissioned colonial and federation homes in New Farm.
The next generation embraced the simplicity of the Arts & Craft style. By the 1920/30’s demand grew for the glamorous architecture – ‘Spanish Mission’. Entrepreneurs quickly saw commercial opportunities and built Art Deco Flats.
Brisbane had transitioned from large Federation mansions that required ‘staff’, to embrace a new and modern lifestyle in an Arts & Craft or Art Deco home.
On this tour we will meet owners (subject to availability) undertaking restoration/renovations to their ‘stucco, brick and tile’ heritage properties.
