Pymble.
After the war, elements of the inter-war
style were occasionally carried over, as in 32 Knowlman
Ave, Pymble. Built in 1951, it had a circular living room
built to accommodate a grand piano. Double glass doors opening
into the living room featured coloured images etched into
the glass. These included Australian flora, fauna, and even
stylised Aboriginal references such as boomerangs. Doorknobs
and other fittings were in pre-war styles. This image from
a Polaroid taken by Phillip Ryan during a building inspection,
not long before the house was demolished in 1998.
