When we lived in Melbourne my father drove to Bentley, a suburb close to the ocean, to build the chapel there. Now it is called Moorabin. One of his "signature" items that he had designed was the lion's head fountain in the courtyard of the church. At that time building a courtyard was also unique.
Brighton Beach is a famous beach in Melbourne and quite close to the Moorabin chapel. President Lindley drove us over there. On one section of the beach they have a row of beach houses that are all painted different colors. People "buy" the beach houses from the city and pay many thousands of dollars for it.
Chapel built by my father in Moorabin.
