4 Grace Street, Malvern, Melbourne

[FRONT] 4 Grace St.
Malvern
Home of Mr. + Mrs (Angela) Thirkell, and
Graham + Colin McInnes during the
1920's. Graham McInnes's "The Road to Gundagai"
p. 74
"To return to No. 4 and taking our stance
opposite It we note that the house (in
contrast to its neighborus which are fenced
with wire "cyclone" ring lock) lies behind
a gamboge paling fence some five feet high
with two chocolate gates; and that a strip
of buffalo gras with a single twisted white
gum, separates the pavement from the street.
The house itself is set back from the road
and is of red brick with yellow roughcast
above and with the usual terra-cotta roof.
The gable to the L which leads forward, and
that to the R sited laterally, are both
marked by machined fretwork in creamy
[BACK] wood and are connected by a
diagonal wooden arch of the
same material, covering a red
tiled porch off which are the front
door, centred, and a window in the shape
of a porthole with local stained glass."
