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.

  • The Architectural Practice of Gerard Wight and William Lucas from 1885 to 1894

Salway, Wight and Lucas’ Mercantile Bank of 1888 with dome at centre above tram. URL: http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/54894. Abstract To date there has been no thorough research into the architectural practice of Wight and Lucas with only a few of their buildings referred to with brevity in histories and articles dealing with late nineteenth-century Melbourne architecture. The Boom era firm of Wight and Lucas from 1885 to 1894 will therefore be investigated in order to expand their catalogue of works based upon primary research and field work. Their designs will be analysed in the context of the historiography of the Boom Style outlined in various secondary sources. The practice designed numerous branches for the Melbourne Savings Bank in the metropolitan area and collaborated with other Melbourne architects when designing a couple of large commercial premises in the City of Melbourne. These Mannerist inspired classical buildings fit the general secondary descriptions of what has been termed the Boom Style of the 1880s and early 1890s. However, Wight and Lucas’ commercial work will be assessed in terms of its style, potential overseas influences and be compared to similar contemporary Melbourne architecture to firstly reveal their design methods and secondly, to attempt to give some clarity to the overall definition of Melbourne’s Boom era architecture and the firm’ place within this period.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION CSR SITE, PYRMONT ( JACKSONS LANDING ) Volume 1: Description, Analysis & Interpretation for Lend Lease Development December 2000 CASEY & LOWE ASSOCIATES Archaeology & Heritage __________________________________________________________ 420 Marrickville Road, Marrickville NSW 2204 • Tel: (02) 9568 5375 Fax: (02) 9572 8409 • Mobile: (0419) 683 152 • E-mail: [email protected] Report Summary REPORT SUMMARY BACKGROUND During October to December 1996 Casey & Lowe Associates undertook the archaeological excavation and testing of areas within the then CSR site (Figs 1.1, 1.2). This site was acquired by Lend Lease to develop into residential accommodation and is now called Jackson’s Landing. The potential archaeological remains of the whole of the CSR site were addressed in an archaeological assessment written by Casey & Lowe Associates in August 1996, ‘Archaeological Assessment CSR Site, Pyrmont’, for Howard Tanner & Associates on behalf of Civil & Civic. This report identified the potential survival of archaeological remains in a number of areas throughout the CSR site. Those sections where the remains were considered to have the greatest potential for survival and were accessible were tested. Three areas were found to have considerable remains and were excavated. Two other areas were found to have limited archaeological remains and were also excavated. Area A contained the remains of four houses, Houses 15 to 21 New Street, Pyrmont (Plans 1, 2, Photo 1). Area B contained the remains of three houses, Houses 67 and 69 Bowman Street and 2 New Street, Pyrmont (Plans 5, 6, Photo 2). Area C contained the remains of four houses, Houses 1 to 7 McCredie Street, a footpath and roadway, Pyrmont (Plans 9-12, Photo 3).

Designed by the architectural firm of F.R. Hall, it shows the stylistic influence of the work of Robin Dods. It was built in Hamilton circa 1918 at a time when Hamilton was changing from an area of large luxurious estates to one of fine suburban homes on smaller allotments. It has both historical and aesthetic significance and is included in the Brisbane City Council Heritage Trail for Hamilton. History Killara was built circa 1918 for Mr and Mrs John Ambrose Walsh who purchased four adjacent allotments in Windermere Road in 1917. An elegant, Federation style home, its large garden once included a tennis court on the eastern side of the house. Like many houses at Hamilton built during the early decades of the 20th century, Killara was constructed on land subdivided from a grand 19th century estate. It is situated on land which was part of 17 acres acquired by Deed of Grant by pastoralist James Sutherland in 1855. It is believed that Sutherland built a house on this estate which was later demolished and that a second house, Windermere, was built for his daughter, Ruth, and her husband, John George Appel, around 1886.

Intactness 9 Good Fair Poor Heritage Status HV AHC NT Rec. BPS Heritage Overlay History Accountant, Thomas W. Gaggin, purchased two allotments from John Kelly in Alma Street during the late 1880s, adding a house in 1889.1 His architects, Oakden Addison & Kemp, called tenders for the house in 1888.2 Later owners included O.A. Mevendorf and R. Morgan.3 Gaggin held the post of ‘accountant to the Treasurer’4 the second most senior position in the treasury, during the late 1800s and early 1900s, serving through the period of the country’s major economic recession. He served under such ministers as Sir George Turner, succeeding G.T. Allen in this role. (G Butler, Camberwell Conservation Study 1991) Description & Integrity As constructed, the Thomas Gaggin House, at 25 Alma Road Camberwell, is an asymmetrically- planned Italianate Victorian villa. Other than for the alteration of one bay, it is largely intact on the north side of the property and to the extent that it can be viewed from the north-west and north-east sides. Originally the house had its verandah on three sides, uninterrupted, with the original north and east bays kept hidden under the verandah roof.5 The front northern bay has been altered with a later window detailed by the architect OH Jorgenson added in 1937; this replaced the original canted bay in this location and appears to have been altered again since that date.6 The hipped roof is in patterned slate with galvanized iron ridge capping with eave brackets to the front wing.

  • 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.

In the introduction, it is briefly characterised by Michael Keniger as ‘the almost Byzantine Exhibition Building’, while in the one page entry on the building in the book’s main text – attributed to Patrick Bingham- Hall and Philip Goad – it is described as being ‘in an Indo-Saracenic style … an exotic hybrid design, paralleled by colonial monuments in India.’1 Elsewhere, it has been described as Romanesque, Victorian, Federation, Saracenic, and Indian.
