  • The Architecture of Scientific Sydney
    Journal and Proceedings of The Royal Society of New South Wales Volume 118 Parts 3 and 4 [Issued March, 1986] pp.181-193 Return to CONTENTS The Architecture of Scientific Sydney Joan Kerr [Paper given at the “Scientific Sydney” Seminar on 18 May, 1985, at History House, Macquarie St., Sydney.] A special building for pure science in Sydney certainly preceded any building for the arts – or even for religious worship – if we allow that Lieutenant William Dawes‟ observatory erected in 1788, a special building and that its purpose was pure science.[1] As might be expected, being erected in the first year of European settlement it was not a particularly impressive edifice. It was made of wood and canvas and consisted of an octagonal quadrant room with a white conical canvas revolving roof nailed to poles containing a shutter for Dawes‟ telescope. The adjacent wooden building, which served as accommodation for Dawes when he stayed there overnight to make evening observations, was used to store the rest of the instruments. It also had a shutter in the roof. A tent-observatory was a common portable building for eighteenth century scientific travellers; indeed, the English portable observatory Dawes was known to have used at Rio on the First Fleet voyage that brought him to Sydney was probably cannibalised for this primitive pioneer structure. The location of Dawes‟ observatory on the firm rock bed at the northern end of Sydney Cove was more impressive. It is now called Dawes Point after our pioneer scientist, but Dawes himself more properly called it „Point Maskelyne‟, after the Astronomer Royal.

Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • History House
    HISTORY HOUSE History House – Austin Platt sketch, 1979 133 Macquarie Street, Sydney Home of the Royal Australian Historical Society ‘A First Class House in Macquarie Street’ History House, 133 Macquarie Street, Sydney No. 133 Macquarie Street, Sydney, the home of the Royal Australian Historical Society and now known as History House, was designed in 1871 By the architect George Allen Mansfield for his uncle George Oakes, a well known pastoralist and politician. The house was the last in the row of quality Victorian town houses to be built on the west side of Macquarie Street, between Bridge Street and Bent Street. It was probably completed in 1872. The Site The area in which History House is located was once a part of the Governor’s Domain, the extensive grounds associated with the First Government House in Bridge Street which was occupied By successive Governors of New South Wales from 1788 until 1845. These grounds were suBdivided into Building allotments in the late 1840s, after the First Government House had Been demolished and the Governor had moved into the Gothic grandeur of the present Government House. Eight allotments on the west side of Macquarie Street Between Bent Street and Bridge Street were put up for sale in 1847 but the land on which History House was later to be built did not find a buyer until 1849 when it was purchased, together with the allotment immediately to the south, By Joseph Nottingham Palmer. The price was 10 pounds per foot of the frontage, a total of 300 pounds. Between 1849 and 1857 the land changed hands three times and was owned By Thomas Fisher, a Barrister and son-in-law of William Charles Wentworth, Thomas Woolley, a merchant, and William Bland a medical practitioner, all well known members of Sydney society.

  • Reading Ruskin: Architecture and Social Reform in Australia, 1889–1908
    The University of New South Wales Doctor of Philosophy Degree READING RUSKIN: ARCHITECTURE AND SOCIAL REFORM IN AUSTRALIA, 1889–1908 2010 MARK DOUGLAS STILES ABSTRACT This thesis examines the reception of John Ruskin’s work in Australia between 1889 and 1908, and seeks to answer two questions: what Australians made of Ruskin’s ideas at a critical moment in their history, and what we may make of Australia a century ago with Ruskin as our guide. The period covered here spans the decades before and after the federation of the Australian colonies in 1900, and the quest for political unity forms the background to the thesis. What Ruskin’s perspective adds to this account is his search for unity in diversity, a search paralleled in Australia in the struggle to establish the foundations of a just society. Because Ruskin thought that art, and especially architecture, was the true expression of national life and character, the thesis uses a study of Australian architecture to reflect on the search for social justice in this period. This study is developed by comparing the experiences of the progressive architects influenced by Ruskin with those of leading figures in the early Australian labour and feminist movements. Their contrasting perspectives fill out the account given here not only of the understanding of Ruskin’s work in Australia, but also of the hopes of Australian reformers in a turbulent period marked by economic distress and political unrest. Ruskin was not the only writer to find eager readers in Australia as it moved closer to Federation, but he was read by more people, and his opinions cited on a wider range of issues, than almost any other contemporary figure.

It was constructed for the Australian Mutual Fire Insurance Society and completed in June 1883. The three storey building, an exuberant essay in the Victorian Free Classical style, originally boasted a tall tower rising above the intersection of King and Pitt Streets and figurative groups of symbolic statuary by Tomaso Sani mounted above the King and Pitt Street façades. 142-144 Pitt Street made (and continues to make) a distinguished contribution to this part of the City of Sydney. The building was modified in 1919 to the design of Robertson & Marks after the Australian Mutual Fire Insurance Society relocated to other premises in September that year. Its ground floor was adapted for retail uses, an awning was installed, and shopfronts replaced original ground floor windows and doors. Significant elements, including the tower and statuary, were removed. 142-144 Pitt Street was sold to Saunders Limited in January 1935 and underwent further modification, again to the design of Robertson & Marks. The building remained in the possession of Saunders Limited until 1987, during which time it underwent further modification and occupation by a succession of tenants. It was then acquired by Portmans Consolidated Pty Ltd, which sold it to Gwynvill Syndicate in 1990. Major refurbishment and conservation works took place between 2002 and 2011.
