Milton House has a point of difference from most of Melbourne's inner city heritage buildings - it's Art Nouveau style.

A very subdued form of Art Noveau, but it is charming. Seemingly there was not a lot of building done in Melbourne in that brief period of true Art Nouveau work.
Me again. I like your Art Gallery collection of still lifes. Nice Magnolias in there, just like the Trad Pad's own photo-montage.
Next time you have a spare day to go walkabout in the city, may I join you? Not for the opshops, but to have you point out these buildings that I have never noticed, in 58 years of living, working and shopping in Melbourne! You have a great eye for the unusual.
Gina, any time. One day I just did Flinders Lane from top to bottom. I'll do it again anytime to have another enjoyable day out with you and because it's a favourite place of mine. Although I don't have a free Saturday until September.
Well, it's August in ten days time, so September isn't far away. Let's make a date soon - maybe Sharon can join us and we can do coffee and cake somewhere afterwards?
I suggest Saturday 9 September and I suggest that we start at the top of Flinders Lane. Exploring can take a while - and I am sure we will talk a lot. Halfway down is Degraves Street where we can do lunch and see how energetic we are after that for the remainder of the journey. We can be in touch by email with how to meet etc.That Sharon had better organise herself this time around.
