You're not going to believe this Kat but we have consensus. I am a great fan of Art Deco and there are some great examples of it in the Blue Mountains. There is a great Art Deco shop in Katoomba Street Katoomba called Heart of Stone, also many other examples particularly in Katoomba and old style town.

There you go, who said we couldn't agree on anything...Have a happy Easter...You too Francis, Peter Freedman and Annie, Annie I know you are Muslim but enjoy the Easter Eggs!.

No worries, RB, hope you and yours had a great one too.

Actually spent most of mine helping a mate with his home extensions....

Here's one of our local ones. Built in 1933, and currently home to a local firm of solicitors.

A Victorian era building with Art Deco embellishments. I assume that it must have had a makeover around 1930.....
