found: Work cat.: 2006386968: Jorgensen, M. Montsalvat guide : a guide to the place and its founder, 2005:p. 3 ("The name Montsalvat for the group of buildings in Eltham built by the pupils of Justus Jörgensen was not used until the 1950s. Before that one spoke of 'going to Eltham' if one had some attachment to the place and the people, or, if it were the press writing about it the term used would be 'The Artists' Colony'. The buildings of Montsalvat are an intriguing group of pisé de terre (rammed earth), adobe (mud brick), half-timbered and stone structures, randomly located, it would seem, and with a decidedly mediaeval feeling, looking much like a French village or perhaps a monastic settlement, built where one would least expect to find it -- in an Australian paddock which dips and rolls from one narrow road to the other.")
