Sydney Art Deco Heritage

The Henson Park Hotel at 91 Illawarra Road in Marrickville was designed by Sidney Warden and built in 1936 on the original site of the Town Hall Hotel by Tooth and Company. It was threatened with closure in 2007 but strong support from locals made council reject the development. Facade detail Window detail Sources: NSW Government "History of the suburbs"

Here are four shops in Mascot I discovered recently at 1209 -1223 Botany Road. It is unusual to see a group of Art Deco buildings adjacent to each other here in Sydney. Number 1223 is known as "Mascot Corner" while number 1213-1215 is known as "Orion House". I have been unable to find any further information on these buildings. 1209 - 1211 Botany Road facade detail 1213 - 1215 Botany Road facade detail 1217-1219 Botany Road facade detail Mascot Corner

The Ateco Manufacturing Facility is located at 634-726 Princes Highway in Tempe. The property consists of two lots that belonged to a widow from 1926 to 1940. THey were then purchased by the Perpetual Trustee Company who owned them until 1947. New owners WD & HO Wills sold in 1954 to Penfolds Wines. Dalwood Vineyards then had them from 1956 to 1986. Penfold Management Services Pty Limited owned the Lots until 1994. From 1995 to 2007 it belonged to Ateco Automotive Pty Limited and the current owner is Valad Commercial Management Limited.
