Mona Court, South Yarra

This article in The Argus from 16 August 1940 reports that Williams and Co sold both corners of Mona Place and Punt Road for 'subdivision in seven blocks suitable for sale'. Presumably, one of those blocks on the southern corner became Mona Court, a 'U' shaped block of flats.

Each of the flats on the Punt Road arm of the 'U' have small brick balconies but interestingly there are no balconies on the other side.

The Punt Road side also have staircases between the front flats and the back flats which is mirrored on the other side.

The centre court formed by the arms of the 'U' has shrubs and small trees providing a lot of privacy to the ground floor flats and no doubt dampening the noise from the traffic on Punt Road. It also has this wonderful decorative brick section.
