CLIFTON, MARSHALL WALLER GERVASE, 1903–1975 Marshall CLIFTON, MARSHALL WALLER GERVASE, 1903–1975 Marshall Waller Gervase Clifton, architect and artist, was born on 11 September 1903 at Wokalup, Western Australia to Gervase Clifton, farmer, and his wife Florence Mabel, née Knowles. Marshall was the great‐great‐grandson of Marshall Waller Clifton. In March 1922 Clifton began a four‐year cadetship in architecture at the Public Works Department, Perth. He was elected an associate of the Royal Institute of Architects of Western Australia in 1926. He remained in the department as a junior assistant architect and later assistant architect, before joining the practice of George Herbert Parry. Clifton sailed for England in 1930 in order to further his career. He was employed in London by E. Vincent Harris, and helped with designs for the Manchester Central Library and the Leeds Civic Hall. He also attended classes at the Royal Academy's school of architecture from January 1931. Having visited Europe, he returned to Perth in December 1932 and formed a partnership with Parry. He married Nancy Millicent Hughes on 28 April 1934. Clifton was honorary architect and artist to the Royal Western Australian Historical Society in 1936‐ 75. In June 1937 he established his own practice and concentrated on domestic architecture. He was appointed lieutenant in the Militia on 23 June 1941 and was posted to Western Command in 1942, where he performed engineering staff duties. He was transferred to the Australian Imperial Force on 8 September and confirmed in the rank of captain in July 1943. He was demobilized in Perth on 19 September 1944. In 1946 he formed a partnership with his former pupil, Eric Leach; re‐establishing his own practice in 1953. A fellow of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, 1952, he was president of its Western Australian chapter, 1956‐58 and a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Artists, 1959. As honorary architect to the State branch of the National Trust of Australia, 1965‐72 he was responsible for restoration work at Strawberry Hill Farm, Albany and Woodbridge, Guildford. Clifton died on 3 December 1975 at Mosman Park and was buried in Australind cemetery; his wife and two daughters survived him.

    Welcome to the Icons of Influence trail When John Septimus Roe first laid out the city of Perth in 1829, he envisioned a powerful city at the centre of a strong, progressive economy. St Georges Terrace was the focus of this design, a broad avenue running parallel to the shores of the majestic Swan River. Pre-eminent early settlers built their residences along the Terrace and many significant civic buildings were also erected here. St Georges Terrace continues its central role as the city’s Icons of powerhouse today. Follow this trail to investigate the history of the city through its iconic places of influence.

  • Barracks Arch Open House and History
    THE ARCHIES! Open House Perth is a free, two-day festival that celebrates the best of architecture, design and the built environment in Perth and its surrounds. It gives visitors unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to Perth’s best places and spaces. The Open House concept was founded in London in 1992 with the aim of fostering a better understanding of architecture outside the architecture profession – it now spans the globe. In association with The Heritage Council and the City of Perth the Barracks Arch was open to small groups over the weekend of 16 and 17 November. The Enrolled Pensioner Guard SIG was on hand to provide information and the City of Perth graciously distributed brochures about our work - due to safety reasons, small groups only could tour and this meant only about 200 people could make a booking to climb the Arch. Then and now: An intrepid band of your SIG representatives climbed the Arch to reacquaint themselves (some for the first time) with the Barracks Arch: 1 Thanks to the City of Perth and in particular to Rachael O’Toole far right above for all the work in ensuring the opening of the Arch went smoothly. The history of the Arch has been both interesting and controversial. The picture left is the beginning demolition of the Pensioners Barracks in 1966. Demolition did not come without opposition - an announcement of these plans created public outcry and a Barracks Defence Council emerged in 1961. From 1900-1904, the Arch buildings were converted into office spaces. Previous tenants were relocated and the Public Works Department (PWD) moved in.
