as in Barlow and Hawkins's showcase publication "Australian Homes" also published in 1927; the prominence given to the design of Colinton is said to have contributed to the adoption of Tudor style for residential and commercial developments into the 1930s. The house was state heritage listed in 1997. Croydon Baby Health Centre The Croydon Baby Health Centre was built along with many other such centres in response to the changing social attitudes towards maternal and child health during the early twentieth century. Barlow himself held a deep interest in issues surrounding community health and it is thought that he completed the project with no commission. Built in 1930, it was designed, like Colinton, in a particularly delightful version of the Tudor or ‘Old English' style. Features include picturesque massing, half timbering, diamond pane windows, a lych gate, and a wrought iron sign. Today the building continues to be used as a children’s health centre under the title Croydon Maternal and Child Health Centre.
