Suburban Dreams continued

Other styles of housing prior to the First World War were influenced by the British Arts and Crafts Movement, producing houses with stylistic references to English cottages. Gothic influences can also be seen in larger houses in wealthier suburbs.  From the 1910s the Californian Bungalow was introduced and remained popular until the 1940s.  Other residential styles included American shingle and Stockbrokers' Tudor.

In the early 1900s Perth's population boom had seen the expansion of the city environs to outlying suburbs linked to Perth by railway.  Suburbs like Victoria Park, North Perth, Subiaco and Leederville provided cheap land on which to build.  As more suburbs opened up after the First World War building companies developed housing designs for the public to choose from.

Real estate developments marked the growth and development of the Perth metropolitan region throughout the century.
