Art Deco Christchurch: West Avon 1930
The West Avon apartments on the south-west corner of Hereford and Montreal Streets.
Built in 1930, they would appear to be the design of the Architect Harry Francis Willis (1893-1972), who was also responsible for the 1932 New Regent Street development and the now concealed 1934 Art Deco facade of the State Cinema at the northeast corner of Gloucester and Colombo Streets.
Now sporting a penthouse, the Grade 3 protected building is currently painted in shades of blue and orange.
