Old postcard of Circle Court
Designed by the brothers Louis Theodore and Mark Obel in 1936, both architects who favoured Art Deco design, Circle Court is an impressive building, carefully adapted to its non – symmetrical site, once towering over the intersection from which its name derives. Clarendon Circle was a famous landmark – a large traffic circle surrounding an island of grass and palms – replaced by traffic lights in 1959. LT Obel lived in the building and died here in 1956.
