OK I’m back. This one from Pete F seems appropriate during the political turmoil. First, this hideous mausoleum of a house would be a worst anywhere, secondly it’s in Rockingham, and third, it has an anarchist symbol scratched into the concrete outside. No-one comes out of this looking good.


…And potentially registered lawns!
Gadzooks!

I’d always arrogantly assumed Rockingham was home of the bogan. I had no idea people of class and sophistication lived there too.

In a Rockingham context it is anarchic architecture. Check out those eaves.

Hang on, Rockingham didn’t even exist (as a ‘locality’) in the 18th. century.

If I ruled the world, cashed up bogans would be ineligible to purchase a property or home with any historial or architectural significance. Strictly circa 1990 onwards.

What are the six pointy things on the roof?

a finial type of thing, i think.

I think they are similar urns to those that adorn the gateposts
possibly containing the cremated remains of anarchists and other envious riff-raff

That central frieze-horses, chariots & swords. Can’t tell from the street if it’s Ramses or Ben Hur.

Had a sudden thought. Is this Mark McGowan’s house? I know he has delusions of grandeur…

I always imagined his architectural taste to lean towards Albert Speer

So you’re thinking that he would furnish like this?

absolutely, he would stand behind it and practice giving speeches into the mirror

All I can imagine is having a showdown with a badly disfigured (possibly albino) serial killer on the roof of that place. The whole thing ends with him impaled on one of those urns.

I’m no expert but I’d say this is an excellent example of early 21st century Greco-Bogan.

This house is unique but its not ugly, at least it has symmetry. If you think this this bad then go to bicton…. That place is full of weird homes! One very ugly dark brown “wild west 1980” one in particular which beats all other houses on here. You haven’t seen ugly! This house is not it.
