From Civic to Suburb A Bega flat in Mawson
A Mawson couple, Mrs Robert White and her husband, engaged architect W J Douglas to design a sunlit home with dining room and laundry on a block near the Yarra Glen freeway. They bought land in March 1967 for 180 and, after searching Mawson, settled on a plan resembling their designer’s. Final costs reached about 15 000 including a wide cement drive and carport. They aim to avoid overcapitalising as the street mixes government and private homes.
