Monday Mural

Sami hosts Monday Mural, and I am joining with her.

Gedyes is a strange name. For once I will check some detail about the mural, to save Steve the bother.

Damian Cazaly fills in the blanks. I am inclined to agree with his opinion about the demise of the building. 

"Gedye’s Mills in Grattan Street, Prahran was a knitting mill operated by Vincent Gedye who was born in Melbourne in 1872. He lived at 20 Grattan St from 1903 to 1919 but continued operating his mills for many years after. Recently, the Mills have hosted many institutional businesses including Wooten Cordwainer and Leather Craftsmen and The Establishment Studios.

Unfortunately the beautiful old building was demolished in early 2020 for more high density living. Shame on those in the City of Stonnington that approved this destruction of history."
