Following the success of the Sunshine Housing Estate in Victoria with a concrete construction system originally developed in the Balaklava, South Australia, the Monolyte Company won a contract in 1926 to construct 100 houses in South Blanfordia (now the Canberra suburb of Griffith).
Only 25 were built before the company went bankrupt in 1927. Do any still exist? I would be pleased to hear from a Canberran who knows!
Here is a photo of one of the Monolyte cottages under construction (Thanks to Canberra historian Ann Gugler).
