HURREN, LANGMAN & JAMES COLLECTION Architecture Museum, University of South Australia INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND FACTORIES SERIES 254 The engineering partnership of Hurren, Langman and James consisted of Frank Hurren ASASM (1899-1992), William Wilson Langman and Wesley Hughes James ME (Adel), FSASM, MIE Aust, (b1898). “During 1928 Hurren established the first sustained consulting structural engineering practice in Adelaide to meet the small but growing need for more specialised reinforced concrete structural expertise. His practice survived the hard years of the Depression due to [Hurren’s] drive and self-motivation. For over twenty years, the practice of Hurren, Langman and James was the pre-eminent consulting structural engineering firm in Adelaide, highly respected for its innovation and the quality of its work” (Stacy 2005 p87). On 10 August 1956, on the retirement of Frank Hurren, the partnership of Hurren, Langman and James was dissolved. James and Langman continued as Langman and James from 1 July 1956. Frank Hurren studied at the S.A. School of Mines and Industries then worked in Sydney. On his return to Adelaide he worked with both E. Stone and M.S. Stanley, and later, in partnership with Langman and James he designed the structures of many Adelaide buildings, such as Shell House, Elizabeth House, the Bank of N.S.W. and the Savings Bank Building. William (Bill) Langman was Mayor of Burnside 1967-68 and was very active in the Adelaide Rotary Club. Wesley Hughes James studied at the University of Adelaide and became a Junior Assistant Engineer in the Engineer-in Chief's Department in 1922. He then went to England and America, returning to Adelaide in 1927 where he gained the Degree of Master of Engineering in 1931. James worked with W. Francis before joining with Hurren and Langman, where he designed such structures as the Pt. Augusta and Osborne Power Stations. He was Chairman of the Institution of Engineers (S.A. Division) in 1944 (Cumming and Moxam 1986). Key references Cumming, D.A. and Moxham, G. (1986) They Built South Australia. Self published, South Australia.

Collection description Hurren, Langman and James were a structural engineering firm who worked with many architectural firms in South Australia and interstate. This collection of records came from the Mortlock Library of South Australiana, at the State Library of South Australia as a specialist group of business records. It consists of plans and drawings, calculations for jobs, correspondence, specifications and books. As these records, when accessed by the archivists, had no discernible order, they have been organised into groups related to the functions of the buildings described, then the owner's name. They are a valuable addition to the Architecture Museum because they contain work by architects not previously represented in the collections. Plans are stored in plan file drawers unless designated as 'Box' when they are stored in the archive boxes. Page 1 Architecture Museum, University of South Australia.

    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HERITAGE COUNCIL NEWS 20 May 2021 Meeting West End Brewery, brewhouse, main entrance, chimney and tank storage Source: DEW Files 21 April 2021 Cummins House C 1848 by JM Skipper. Accession No: NGA 2012. 1850 1 | P a g e News from the 118th meeting The South Australian Heritage Council (Council) meeting was held on Kaurna country, with one member attending remotely via video link on Barngarla country. Nominations for the South Australian Heritage Register West End Brewery Council considered this place after a nomination for the whole site was received from a member of the public and this triggered Council’s consideration of it. The West End brewery (formerly named Southwark, Nathan, Walkerville and originally Torrenside brewery) demonstrates 135 years of brewing on the same site. The brewery was begun by the Ware family who were, in the nineteenth century, well known for their involvement in brewing in South Australia. The success of Torrenside led to its rapid expansion and then amalgamation with the State’s most successful cooperative brewery, Walkerville Co- Operative Brewing Co, after which Torrenside became the Walkerville brewery. All brewing was relocated to Thebarton. The success of Walkerville resulted in it becoming the main competition to the South Australian Brewing Company (SABCo), and the facilities at the brewery were expanded in 1898-1899 and 1901-1903 to keep pace with demand. Given the extent of the site and the diversity of buildings/structures that may have potential State Heritage significance, the Council is considering it in discrete parts. At this meeting the following decisions were made: Walkerville Brewhouse Tower The Council has provisionally entered the Walkerville Brewhouse Tower under criteria (a), (b) and (g) of Section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993.

Designed, built and maintained by SABCo employees with support from SABCo, the garden and displays have grown from humble beginnings in 1959, to fill the riverbank adjacent to the former West End brewery and demonstrate SABCo’s desire as a major business to give something back to the community, while also developing a positive public image of the company. RELEVANT CRITERIA (under section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993) (g) it has special association with the life or work of a person or organisation or an event of historical importance Established in 1893, the South Australian Brewing Company Ltd (SABCo) quickly grew to become the largest and most profitable brewery in South Australia.

    Summary of State Heritage Place

    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Walkerville Brewhouse Tower PLACE NO.: 26528 ADDRESS: 107 Port Road, Thebarton CT 6137/685 F103751 A2 & CT 5138/158 D1038 A386 Hundred of Adelaide STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Walkerville Brewhouse Tower built in 1886, enlarged in 1898-1899 and then doubled in size in 1901-1903, demonstrates important associations with the brewing industry in South Australia and 135 years of brewing at the site. The introduction of brewhouse towers in the late nineteenth century enabled brewers to implement the gravitational method of brewing and were once a key element of the larger South Australian breweries. The consolidation and closure of many breweries in the twentieth century and the adoption of newer methods of brewing have led to these structures becoming uncommon. The Walkerville Brewhouse Tower is one of a few remaining and one of the largest examples of a brewhouse tower in South Australia. The Walkerville Brewhouse Tower also demonstrates important associations with the Torrenside Brewery (established 1886) and the Walkerville Co-Operative Brewing Company (established 1889). The Torrenside and Walkerville breweries amalgamated in 1898 with brewing continuing at the Thebarton site. The Walkerville Co-operative Brewing Company was SABCo’s biggest competitor and the other major South Australian brewer during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was also the first of its kind in South Australia to successfully run a brewery following the cooperative model. RELEVANT CRITERIA (under section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993) (a) it demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State’s history The Walkerville Brewhouse Tower located at the West End brewery (former Southwark/Nathan/Walkerville/Torrenside brewery) demonstrates 135 years of brewing on the same site.
