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.

Back endpaper: Audit Office staff, 2001. iii Foreword he year 2001 assumed much significance for the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office as Tit marked the 150th anniversary of the appointment in July 1851 of the first Victorian Auditor-General, Charles Hotson Ebden. In commemoration of this major occasion, we decided to commission a history of the 150 years of the Office and appointed Dr Peter Yule, to carry out this task. The product of the work of Peter Yule is a highly informative account of the Office over the 150 year period. Peter has skilfully analysed the personalities and key events that have characterised the functioning of the Office and indeed much of the Victorian public sector over the years. His book will be fascinating reading to anyone interested in the development of public accountability in this State and of the forces of change that have progressively impacted on the powers and responsibilities of Auditors-General. Peter Yule was ably assisted by Geoff Burrows (Associate Professor in Accounting, University of Melbourne) who, together with Graham Hamilton (former Deputy Auditor- General), provided quality external advice during the course of the project.

  • The Architectural Practice of Gerard Wight and William Lucas from 1885 to 1894
    ABPL90382 Minor Thesis Jennifer Fowler Student ID: 1031421 22 June 2020 Boom Mannerism: The Architectural Practice of Gerard Wight and William Lucas from 1885 to 1894 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Urban and Cultural Heritage, Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne Frontispiece: Herbert Percival Bennett Photograph of Collins Street looking east towards Elizabeth Street, c.1894, glass lantern slide, Gosbel Collection, State Library of Victoria. 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.

It takes advantage of newly digitized historical newspapers and soldier files to explore how the people of Victoria B.C. Canada, over 8000 kilometers from the front, experienced the Great War 1914-1918. Although that experience was similar to other Canadian cities in many ways, in other respects it was quite different. Victoria’s geographical location on the very fringe of the Empire sets it apart. Demographic and ethnic differences from the rest of Canada and a very different history of indigenous-settler relations had a dramatic effect on who went to war, who resisted and how war was commemorated in Victoria.

  • Another Two Diagonal Avenues Intersect the Site, Radiating from the Central Section of the Gardens on Carlton Street, to the Two Southern Entry Points
    ROYAL EXHIBITION BUILDING AND CARLTON GARDENS Another two diagonal avenues intersect the site, radiating from the central section of the gardens on Carlton Street, to the two southern entry points. The avenue on the east side is planted with Plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia). Near the Works Depot, in the avenue’s most northern extent, the trees are planted at wide spacings. This may have been a realisation of John Guilfoyle’s 1916 proposal to remove every second plane tree from the South Garden Plane Tree Avenue. It is unclear when the removal was to take place. The plane tree avenue referred to may have been that in the North Garden and not the one in the South Garden. In the southern section the trees are closely spaced, forming a denser over canopy and providing a stronger sense of enclosure. The avenue on the opposite diagonal on the west side of the gardens is planted with Grey Poplars (Populus x canescens) also reaching senescence. A replanting on the south-west side of this avenue with poplars occurred in 2006. The avenue’s integrity is strongest near Carlton Street where the trees are regularly spaced and provide good canopy coverage. 4.4.5 North Garden Boundary Trees The layout of the North Garden in the 1890s was primarily based on extensive avenue plantings crossing the site, with little in the way of other ornamentation. Individual specimen trees were mainly planted around the perimeter of the site, forming loose boundary plantations. The spaces between the avenue plantations remained relatively free of in-fill plantings, with expanses of turf being the primary surface treatment in these areas.

  • INTRODUCTION John Smith Murdoch This Thesis
    Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION John Smith Murdoch This thesis presents John Smith Murdoch (1862-1945), architect and public servant and examines the significance of his contribution to the development of Australian architecture between 1885 and 1929. His ability to combine successfully the often mutually exclusive roles of designer and Government employee earned him considerable national respect from the architectural profession and the public service. In this dual role, substantial design constraints were placed upon him which included the economic considerations determined by the public purse. As a representative of Government, he was also entrusted to embody the nation's values in architectural terms, as well as adhering to the architectural practices of his profession. The extent of his architectural contribution in Australia is highlighted by Murdoch himself: As Designer or Supervisor, or both, the buildings engaged upon number very many hundreds of every kind, and in value from a quarter of a million pounds downwards. Due to my position in the Department, probably no person has had a wider experience of buildings in Australia including its tropics ... [I have had] a leading connection with the design of practically all Commonwealth building works during the above period [1904-28].1 A List of Works is provided in Appendix 1 as evidence of his substantial architectural repertoire; the extent of which suggests that the work is of historical importance. Despite a prolific output and acknowledgement for raising 'architecture in Australia to a high level'2 between 1910 and 1920, this is the first critical study of his life and work. Three reasons are immediately evident in determining why Murdoch has not previously been the subject of scholarly analysis.
