Journalist, Stewart Cockburn, writes of doing up his house in East Melbourne in 1950. The address of the house is not given but has been identified as 121 Gipps Street. Cockburn shortly afterwards became Robert Menzies' press-secretary. A photo of the front of the house shows that the ground floor verandah then had a wooden frieze, which has since been replaced. Another photo of the sitting room shows armchairs covered in a fabric designed by Frances Burke, also a resident of East Melbourne.
