Graeme Mansion - Toorak - a photo on Flickriver

            Located in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Toorak, Graeme Mansion, built in 1910 by Melbourne architect P. G. Fick (18?? - 1940) is a Grande Dame of Melbourne's glittering turn-of-the-century past.

Built in elegant Art Nouveau style, Graeme Mansion, made of grey stone, is an imposing building which shuns the world beyond the high fence that protects it from the noise of busy Williams Road which it faces onto, and the railway line which it is situated next to.  The mansion's name plaque is situated above the front door, below a fan window, and two sets of bay windows with Art Nouveau stained glass panels feature to either side of the front door.

Graeme Mansion was built for and named by Ballarat born physician Dr. Francis  Armand Nyulasy (1862 - 1934).  Sadly, Dr. Nyulasy married late in life and had no children, so his beloved home fell into disrepair and was neglected for a long time.  Today it has a new lease of life and a new name, "Toorak Manor", as a quality boutique hotel as such a building at such an address deserves to be.

P. G. Fick also designed the All Saints Anglican Church, hall and vicarage on Chapel Street, East St Kilda in 1908.
