      RUTLAND - Historical Australian Themes

      Towards the end of the inter-War period, two brand new housing estates were laid out in Ivanhoe. Both were developed by the A. V. Jennings' Construction Co., pioneer in the construction of private housing estates in Melbourne. He was approached by a syndicate which owned about 14 acres in Melcombe Road, Ivanhoe, close to the Ivanhoe Railway Station and the site of the proposed new Heidelberg Civic Centre. The new estate was known as the Beaumont Estate, and comprised some 94 houses. The subdivision and road layout was unusual for the time in that it included a series of five cul-de-sac off Melcombe Road. It is also considered to have been the most architecturally ambitious of Jennings' estates. The houses were designed by Jennings' architect, Edgar Gurney. The houses in the cul-de-sac off Melcombe Road, in particular, were larger and more adventurous in their design than anything seen at Jennings' earlier estates. A number of the courts featured an eclectic mixture of modern and neo-traditional styles.
