The Art Decos that once stood here may not have seemed 'historic' to some. These homes, about eighty-plus-years old as of 2016, don't get a historic overlay. Not old enough. But in ten to twenty years time, as the semi-detached homes fall to developers around the Glen Eira area and beyond, these cute little cottages, built during World War Two, will become a rare jewel. McKinnon is a small suburb of two square kilometres. It's tiny compared to Bentleigh. But take a walk around the suburb and you will find that the semi-detached is disappearing. The solid, double-brick homes, built to last forever, are being replaced by concrete multi-storey monsters that dominate the skyline. Their shadows casting a sad future for the humble Art Deco. Forever.
