"Climar's" unique and distinctive rounded facade, use of glass and adjoining music note fence (opening bars of 'Melody of Love') brings all the charm and timeless elegance of the Art Deco era. The home is a rare example of post-war rural architecture, and has featured in displays in the National Art Gallery of Victoria and in the book 'Art Deco in Australia - Sunrise over the Pacific'.
