Wrought Iron Decorations
- A tough, malleable form of iron suitable for forging or rolling rather than casting, obtained by puddling pig iron while molten. It is nearly pure but contains some slag in the form of filaments
- iron having a low carbon content that is tough and malleable and so can be forged and welded
- Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content, in comparison to steel, and has fibrous inclusions, known as slag. This is what gives it a "grain" resembling wood, which is visible when it is etched or bent to the point of failure.
- Used for wrought iron, as opposed to cast iron; usually a building or structural material.

A Mock Tudor Villa - Coonans Hill
Made of locally produced red and brown bricks this substantial Mock Tudor villa in the Melbourne suburb of Coonans Hill, would have been for a larger sized middle-class family.
This house with its high gabled roof line features wonderful brick detailing around the windows and vestibule entrance. The interesting stepped chimney breast of stuccoed brick also shows off a selection of random feature bricks in geometric designs.
The Mock Tudor or Tudorbethan style, was most popular between the two World Wars throughout Britain and her dominions, especially in the new garden suburbs and ribbon developments that appeared during this period.
This style of house would have appealed to the newly moneyed middle-classes who could finally afford to leave the inner city buy their own homes in the burgeoning suburbs. Comfortable and very English, it would have shown respectable and not inconsiderable wealth.
This villa still has its original low brick garden wall with wrought iron gates. The wall has been softened by the creation of a pretty hedge.

cast iron was once common as fences and atop houses all over San Francisco. Most has been removed, most notably in World War scrap metal drives.
