These first two photos, i sourced from a net site page.
' HINDMARSH ' is a suburb of adelaide. This was the style of architecture, used in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It relied on severe geometric forms ( lines, circles etc.) for decoration as well as construction.
They must have refurbished the town hall. Have never been inside. Will observe the inside when i have spare time. I took some night shots. Had to touch them up with Photoshop program.
Disregarding the art deco history of this building, i can also see symbolism. But then it could be my imagination. The town hall overall doesn't bother me. They have done a beautiful restoration.
The items that intrigue me, are the " two characters " on top of the poles. No not the flag poles. They are at the side street entrance. Do you see what i am observing? From the back i can see a pair of ears. In the last photo disregard the poles. To some people ,those two shapes might be abstract.
Not sure why, but my ' two characters ' are missing detail. Just think of " EGYPT " Now you might see what i am referring to. Think back to the time of " SPHINX ". Try to visually picture a creature with long ears, that was depicted during the " PHARAOHS " time. The egyptian ' ANUBIS ' jackal had long ears.
Other people might not perceive it, but i can see the side profile of the ' egyptian jackal ' on my ' Two characters ' Those gold color triangles with black background, just above the gold coloured columns, appear to be symbolic.

Those two triangles on top of roof. It could be abstract. Not sure what i think of them. They are not ' art deco' from 1920's or 1930's. I had a quick look during daytime. They appear to be a recently new addition. That front facade is obviously ' art deco'.
Now can you see a pair of , ' Long egyptian jackal ears' on top of those poles ?. Some will observe other things, and it could be possibly abstract.

This is my last night shot. Thought i would show a side profile of the ' two characters with details missing ' They are obviously on top of two poles.
