I wonder sometimes what some people must think when one photographs a period toilet block! Nonethless no building is left alone in the pursuit of finding Modernist design, the search takes us to places where others do not dare venture!This 1950/60s toilet block at the iconic Columba Falls walking track on Tasmania's North East stands out amongst the temperate rainforest. The design is classic 1950/60s with each end of the building jutting on a slight angle and the square windows another give-away and interesting use of stone on each corner.
You know, I never considered this toilet block on it's design merits.
ReplyDeleteInteresting note: the water for the toilets is actually gravity fed from a small creek on the hill behind the block.
We have lots of very interesting (architecturally) toilet blocks here especially along the coast (although I've never taken any photos!) and bus shelters (still some left) and child health clinics etc Some of those old utilitarian public buildings are beautiful I often wonder if other people notice them...
