Art deco influenced units with stuff left behind/Built circa 1942 now demolished

[@pattigolden1]

Amazing, one side looks move-in ready & the other was occupied by pigs. 😢 Such cool apartments.

[@elisekellett2378]

My friend lived in 'Apollo' approx 35-40 years ago. It was in lovely condition back then and she made it nice. Many a good party was had in that house. Brings back lots of memories. 😊😊

[@silverbullet2286]

Life has been crazy lately, so it’s wonderful to sit in a quiet place and watch an explore. That first side was beautiful, I hope the floor boards were salvaged. Thanks once again, Paul, for a sneak into these wonderful places

A lovely cup of tea and an explore before work. Perfect 🙂❤️

LOVE art deco!!!!!!!!!

[@michaele7880]

The rough stucco finish on the interior walls was a cross over from Spanish Mission style, popular at the same time as Art Deco.

Hello from France ! It’s a beautiful Aer Déco house ! ! Whith a exotic touch for us , européens ! Merci 😊

Bonjour, compatriote! Une belle touche d'exotisme outre atlantique avec ce duplex art déco, en effet. Un style si simple, si épuré et pourtant plein de cachet, loin de ces immondes résidences contemporaines clinquantes, qui suintent de mauvais goût. Du travail comme on en fait plus, hélas

[@Xavierxavou]

@@Polemodrome Bonjour ! Oh oui , le trois fois rien qui fait que tout est chic est une idée qui a bien disparu ! Nous vivons une époque où le clinquant et la vulgarité sont la merveille des kéké ! Triste !

🌟Oh my gosh what a beautiful art deco unit love it, your previous unit was beautiful too loved it. All the character and art deco features. I guess it’s going to be demolished soon? such a shame to see go. Thank you so much for the tour. ❤😊🌟x

[@vickimarsh2750]

Talk about chalk and cheese! The different energies between the two units was clear. Do be careful Paul....there were medi swabs in the open top drawer of the wardrobe in the first bedroom and as you panned left on the top of the wardrobe, there was an empty syringe packet. Possibly indications of intravenous drug use. It could explain the lack of care and neglect ..... or just typical squatter chaos. 🤗

That first one was beautiful the second one was sad the people destroyed that beautiful place

[@Polemodrome]

Nobody builds home with this pared down and yet charming Art Deco style anymore, it's truly a local architecture heritage loss when one of these get levelled...

[@janacollins-maguire4942]

Thank you Paul for the cool explore. First one looks original, nice to see. 💜☮️

[@rogertemple7193]

This is a really unique looking style of house but it is very nice on both the outside and inside unlike the ones in the rural areas this house is in a busy area with a lot of houses and buildings around it but i really like this style and look of it the yard was very nice as well the grass needs to be mowed though and I just hope that they do something worthwhile with the property this was yet another great episode and the other side which had things left behind in it was quite a sight, have a great week and can't wait for the next episode and the next abandoned house Thanks.🇦🇺🇦🇺🤟🇦🇺🇦🇺

I loved the first unit with all its original features and the bedrooms were very big. The shaving cabinets built into the wall have made a big come back in newly built homes.

It would be interesting to see the new building that will be put on the block. Quick follow up video would be awesome.

[@tinasteer2507]

I bet it was cold in those units at winter time. I expect these got demolished and another form of accommodation replaced it. No you can’t have the Barbie stuff!!! I take it Ruby is not going to get her Barbie stuff back.

I was watchin "He built his utopia by hoarding everything!" I've fallen behind on my Urbex indigo but catchin up! 👍🤠 🇺🇸

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi Paul The difference between these 2 apartments is like night and day. At least the people in the first one took all of their belongings and left the place sort of clean. It seems like the people in the second apartment left all the toys and Barbie dolls behind. What did you mean they left in a hurry? Were the police after them or maybe bill collectors. I think you upset all those birds. They were quite vocal when you were outside but when you went in they stopped. Maybe you were close to their nests. After demolition do you know what they will build there? Nice work Paul. You always give us your best. Stay safe and well. Give your 3 cats a pet on the head for me. Nikolai, Noah and Tux.🐈🐈‍⬛🐈 My Chloe who went to Heaven is up at the top of the page. He loved his box and laying in the bathroom sink.

[@JohnShinn1960]

He was a handsome boy, still is.

[@williammullikin2076]

Paul I love Art Deco. The later phase of the movement was referred to as Streamline Moderne, (which is having a revival here in the US), and many of the houses you show are in that style. Less ornate than Deco with horizontal lines, curves and an almost machinelike quality like like a ship or locomotive. Water Fall homes are an example and these units. Love your vids so look forward to new ones.

[@customscreenprinting]

Thanks, Paul. I should beat myself with a birch branch for not getting to watch this until Monday arvo! Not like me to leave this long. 😄I'd happily live in the left side unit but wonder the reason/s the other unit being left as it was. Did they not pay the rent and had to leave in a hurry? With the quantity of children's books/toys etc, did mum leave with the children because of circumstances? I guess we'll never know ... anybody else have a theory?

[@minimad8432]

Nice small unit type places still in ok condition shame they are getting torn down ...I like what your place looked like shame that it had to go like so many on ANZAC HWY. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)

[@DebbieEvangelou]

These units were in good condition considering they were built in 1942.When I saw the little fence I thought maybe housing trust with the second side it makes sense.They most certainly made homes to last in those days not like the shoe boxes they make today really enjoyed this video thanks Paul.

Reminds me of the tv show, the Odd Couple, you can easily tell which side was Felix's and which side was Oscars.

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

A lot of the stuff left behind could and should have been donated. I don’t understand why/how historic buildings like this can be torn down when there is nothing structurally wrong with them

[@Polemodrome]

Why? Greed and lack of refined education, simply put.

[@andrewphillips9123]

Two trips out to the car with the dvd's when you've finished filming LOL One side of the homes left clean and tidy the other looks like a dump. Which one would you have liked as a landlord? Grab the kitchen sink too- scrap! It was still in reasonable condition and would have rented out easily. very little to maintain too.

[@brittany94]

Fun fact, these units are actually called a maisonette 😅☺️

[@patriciasamalens9840]

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Ce bâtiment est très intéressant peu de pièces 2 chambres, un salon salle à manger, une cuisine, une salle de bain et les toilettes, la buanderie c'est aussi l'accès à l'arrière cour ; l'entrée est protégé du vent par cette petite avancée. C'est triste de savoir que la maison sera peut être démoli. Un jour ce patrimoine n'existera plus et il sera de manque.

[@wrichard11]

I originally thought it was a factory. Not exactly homely. But I thought your old place was fab

[@TheTimeDetective42]

Deco at the time was also called 'The Age of Progress' so factories, houses all the same futuristic style.

[@ghostrider9978]

I’d imagine that getting a place built during the war would be difficult due to capable military age men off fighting and resources being redirected to the war . I’d be interested to know. Still enjoying your work mate.

[@peterm1826]

Gee it’s in good condition for old place. My parents had same kitchen. Air vent holes in the kitchen cupboard doors. And separate bread cupboard with mental fly mesh attached. Also had to dark doors and door jams dark internal windowsills they might be ex government housing.

[@pijnto]

That building was clearly bought at some stage By SA Housing trust the kitchen cabinets are SA housing trust units, as are taps etc in the bathrooms.

[@bas4903]

I think that was turned into low income government housing at some stage and they sold it off to developers. Just gives me that vibe from somebody that grew up in low income housing

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yep you are correct. The dividing front fence also typical. Cheers 👍

[@paulademarco1585]

Judging by what’s left behind when was last occupied, perhaps, relatives?
