When the Second World War came to an end in 1945, Australia faced a new set of challenges, from housing shortages to economic instability and general unrest. But it also sparked new beginnings and opportunity, especially in infrastructure.
With many European war refugees sent to settle in Australia through the assisted immigration program, the post-war period led to the construction of new houses. So, what did houses look like in the late 1940s in Australia?
In between the Art Deco and mid-century eras, the 1940s was a time of evolution and experimentation in Australian architecture, which resulted in an array of housing styles, from brick bungalows to fibro cottages and even early modernist designs.
