I should like to thank Roy Prentice, who recounted his early years as Williams's only articled pupil, and later as his chief draughtsman in charge of twenty others. I am particularly grateful to Blyth Johnson, a former partner, who has shared his first hand experience of Williams and offered constant support, answered numerous questions with considerable patience,· and supplied countless photographs. Roy Simpson AO, and Peter Newell, who both trained in Williams's office, and became well known architects, supplied some excellent insights into his lengthy architectural practice, and kept in touch with, as Simpson said, 'that great man'. Peter Newell corresponded frequently and contributed a great deal of valuable material about Williams's work. Generous assistance has been given by the La Trobe State Library staff, particularly Margaret Burnet and Lois Me Evey. The Heidelberg City Library staff has met many requests for special books, and Lynne Esmore of Inter Library Loans. has consistently tracked down numerous obscure documents and provided valuable information. I wish to thank the staff of the Architecture Library, Melbourne University, especially John Maidment OAM, librarian, who has generously shared his extensive knowledge of Alexander North, and information about his subsequent partnership with. Williams. Jenny Stuart of MacAdvice has offered helpful suggestions, and solved many computer problems for me. Clergymen who were consulted and knew Williams well, and admired his scholarship, gave valuable details about his liturgically correct churches. They included Archbishop Sir Frank Woods, Bishop James Grant, former Dean of St Paul's cathedral, Melbourne, and Father Geoffrey Taylor, formerly of St Peter's, East Melbourne, to name just a few. Mrs Lois Kennedy, archivist, Third Church of Christ Scientist, Melbourne (in Elsternwick), supplied copious archival material and photographs of the original church and its fittings, also Keith Corcoran, clerk, the Fourth Church of Christ Scientist, Melbourne (in Northcote). ii I am grateful to Mrs Donne Simpson; Peter Sorel; Rosalind Landells and David Bick of the Brighton Historical Society; Frank Adams, Robert Prenzel's grandson; Mrs Carol Lancashire and Mrs Anne Sells, archivist, Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School; Mrs Judy Vandestadt, Firbank Girls' Grammar School, Brighton; Miss Jean Conochie, MBE, archivist, Lyceum Club, Melbourne;.

Iii INTRODUCTION Louis Reginald Williams was Victoria's, and probably Australia's major ecclesiastical. architect of the Arts and Crafts tradition from the 1920s to the 1970s. At a time when churches were largely outside the realm of cutting edge architecture, he was able to maintain a traditional regard for quality, craftsmanship and architectural integrity. He produced fine rather than exciting. architecture, but contrasted strongly with some of his more experimental contemporaries. He was a gentl~man architect, liked and respected by other architects, practising to the age of eighty-six and becoming a landmark of the architectural scene. Williams was born in Tasmania in 1890, where he attended school at Queens College, and was brought up in a strict religious environment. His father owned a large furniture manufacturing warehouse and hoped his.son would take over the business. However Williams's great interest in churches led him into architecture, where he was fortunate to receive his training from one of the prominent architects of the day, Alexander North, who was Tasmania's Anglican Diocesan Architect. ... Williams later became North's junior partner, and after moving to the mainland about 1912 they set up their practice in Melbourne. Ecclesiastical architecture was foremost in Williams's own practice and during more than sixty-five years in this specialised field he was responsible for designing numerous churches, chapels, vicarages, Sunday schools, kindergartens, and church halls. He also carried out some domestic and commercial commissions. For a lengthy period he was Diocesan Architect to Bathurst and Grafton. He was advisory architect to the Chapter of the Goulburn Cathedral, and designed buildings for the Dioceses of Adelaide, North Queensland, the Dioceses ·of Perth and Bunbury in Western Australia, Devonport and Rail ton, lv as well as every Diocese in Victoria. He became the most sought after ecclesiastical architect of his time, and his churches are to be found throughout Australia. The Anglican Church was Williams's major client, for whom he carried out the majority of buildings in Victoria. He also worked for the Methodists, . Presbyterians, Lutherans and Christian Scientists. His commission was usually to design a church to accommodate a certain number of people, within a set budget. Discussions with the client included siting

  • The Architecture of Scientific Sydney

    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.

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 Anglo-Catholic Tradition in Australian Anglicanism Dr David

    The Anglo-Catholic Tradition in Australian Anglicanism Dr David Hilliard Reader in History, Flinders University Adelaide, Australia Anglicanism in Australia has had many Anglo-Catholics but no single version of Anglo-Catholicism.1 Anglo-Catholics have comprised neither a church nor a sect, nor have they been a tightly organised party. Within a framework of common ideas about the apostolic succession, the sacraments and the central role of ‘the Church’ in mediating salvation, they were, and remain, diverse in outlook, with few organs or institutions to link them together and to promote common goals. Since the mid-nineteenth century, in Australia as in England, two very different trends in the movement can be identified. There were Anglo- Catholics who were primarily concerned with personal religion and the relationship of the individual soul to God, and those, influenced by Incarnational theology, who were concerned to draw out the implications of the Catholic 1 Published works on Anglo-Catholicism in Australia include: Brian Porter (ed.), Colonial Tractarians: The Oxford Movement in Australia (Melbourne, 1989); Austin Cooper, ‘Newman—The Oxford Movement—Australia’, in B.J.
