Description

[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."
