Salvation Army - Burnie

Burnie is a fascinating place to explore if you are after Modernist design. There is even a self guided Art Deco Tour, complete with mp3 audio download. Although the cities Art Deco heritage is prominent, a walk around the streets reveals that many buildings have been erected in the Bruatlist style, including the dominant Reece House, Post Office and Fire Station and the Salvation Army (pictured) to name but a few. The Salvation Army Building is a fine example of symmetry and curve. One day, if buildings such as these pictured stand the test time and/or demolition, they too may gain their rightful place in demonstrating our important modernist architectural heritage.
