Sir Stanley Savige – Legacy Founder

Sir Stanley Savige - Legacy Founder

This mosaic is on the back of Legacy House in Drewery Lane. It commemorates Sir Stanley Savige who founded the charity Legacy in 1923. Legacy supports the families of service-men and -women who died or lost their health in conflicts or through service-related activities. Surrounding the piece are a selection of the ceramic tiles remembering lost family members. This larger mosaic is the work of Sankar Nadeson. The mosaic is based on the 1958 portrait by Alfred Cook for the Australian War Memorial.

Sir Stanley enlisted in the AIF and saw action in Gallipoli, eventually rising to Lieutenant General accepting the Japanese surrender of Bougainville in 1945.

Baroq House – Baucis and Philemon

Baroq House - Baucis and Philemon

Another gem from Drewery Lane in Melbourne’s CBD, and another Greek myth. This time Baucis and Philemon, the only people in the village to offer hospitality to the disguised gods Zeus and Hermes. They asked that when one of them died, that the other would die as well. When they died, the couple were transformed into entwined trees, an oak and a linden.
