Description: Size: 127 x 178 mm A married couple in late middle age are photographed on the verandah of their double-fronted bi-chrome brick house in Gipps Street, next door to the Royal George Hotel. The hotel, this house, and the one next door were in the area now taken up by the wider Hoddle Street. This house is unusual in the depth it is set back from the front fence, although the owners were obviously not keen enough on gardening to make any interesting use of the space, limiting their horticultural efforts to two narrow beds in front of the verandah and lawn on either side of the gravel path. Various members of the Beard family lived in the three houses in Gipps Street between the hotel and the bakery, and other houses just around the corner in Hoddle Street, for many years.
