Brownlie Towers

Physical Description

Originally, the place consisted of two blocks of flats in the Post -War International style, each ten storeys, on a 61 acre site in Bentley. The site is to be found at the end of Taree Street on one side and Dumond Street on the other. The two blocks have their long faces on the north and south sides with the south side overlooking recreation areas belonging to the Cou ncil and originally intended as part of the site. On the north -east and north-west corners of the site are the car parking areas. The north -east car park is partly on two levels. The finish of the building is in soft red brick with aluminium sliding windows. The two blocks have three staircases each; one at either end and one in the centre with balcony access on one side or the other. There is a balcony off the living room area in each flat. The external form of the building was made up of pink brick vertical elements and horizontal painted concrete balcony access balustrading. The buildings underwent extensive renovation in the early 21st century and no longer present externally in the Post-War International Style.
