Grainy photography and faded pages do nothing to dispel the beauty of this grand Melbourne home in Toorak, clips of its pictorial debut in the 1934 issue of Australian Home Beautiful now a treasured possession of its owners. Built in the early 1930s, its then vendor was a Frenchman who made Australia home in the interwar years and wanted a residence where he could display his imported furniture. Built by respected architects Arthur and Hugh L. Peck, its architectural hybrid merges English Domestic Revival style with French Provincial accents. Thanks to owners past – entrepreneurs who brought artists to Australia to perform – the house has played host to international musicians, Hollywood actors and theatre types.
Its colourful history boasts a veritable who’s who of entertainers enjoying its communal spaces: The Beatles, Cliff Richard, Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn, not to mention local legends of the art world such as Rupert Bunny, Albert Tucker, the Boyds, Clifton Pugh and Robert Dickerson.
