Elston Court is a residential apartment building located at 124 Shirley Road, Wollstonecraft, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed in the Inter-War Art Deco style by the architectural firm Summerhayes, Son and Allsopp.[1] Charles Robert Summerhayes was a well-known entity in Sydney: he was not only an architect and a builder, who designed and constructed several buildings in Sydney, but also a prominent politician.[2][3][4][5] The builder of Elston Court was Girran Brothers of St Leonards, Sydney, Australia.[1] The building was completed in 1935, as in October of that year, the daughter of Mr Francis Butcher (the developer), was living in apartment number seven.[6]
The Sydney Morning Herald described the flats within the building as "economically planned",[1] but still "spacious and modern."[1] The flats had electrical refrigeration, hot-water services, garbage incineration, and steam-heating plants.[1]
