  • OBJECT BIOGRAPHY John Smith Murdoch's Drawing Instruments
    Landmarks: People and Places across Australia, a gallery bringing together over 1500 objects, explores the history of Australia since European settlement. OBJECT BIOGRAPHY John Smith Murdoch’s drawing instruments In 2009, the National Museum of Australia acquired a collection of drawing instruments including pens, compasses and rulers, housed in a leather-bound presentation case. On the front of the case is a silver plaque engraved with the following: ‘Presented to John S Murdoch, Architect / by a few friends on the occasion / of his leaving Elgin for Inverness. 18 Boxed set of drawing instruments November 1881.’ belonging to John Smith Murdoch, about 1881. Photo: Lannon Harley, National Museum of Australia. The case contains fifteen individual drawing instruments, which are stored in a moulded tray, lined with blue grosgrain and silk fabric, and a recessed storage compartment in the lid. The lid lining is stamped with ‘W H Harling, Mathematical Instrument Manufacturer, 40 Hatton Garden, London’ and the company’s crest. The recessed lid compartment contains a sector, protractor and parallel rule. In the 1600s there was a developed stylus that could draw a line with a specific width called a ruling pen. The stylus had two curved metal pieces, which were joined by a screw. Ink was trickled between the blades, from which it flowed evenly across the paper. The basic model was maintained for a long time, with minor modifications, until the 1930s when the German technical drawing pens came to the market. Many of the instruments were made by W H Harling, as indicated by the stamp. However, some of the instruments were made by J and W E Archbutt, Stanley and Elliot Brothers, suggesting that the case originally contained instruments from a variety of manufacturers or that Murdoch had replaced items over time.

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.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: The former High Court Building is important as the first headquarters of the High Court of Australia. It operated from 1928 to 1980, a time when many Constitutional and other landmark judicial decisions were made affecting the nation’s social and political life. The whole of the building and its interior design, fitout (including original furniture) and architectural features bear witness to these events. As the first purpose built building for the home of the nation's High Court, it combines the then budgetary austerity of the Commonwealth with a skilled functional layout, where the public entry is separated from the privacy of the Justices’ chambers and the Library by the three central Courts, in a strongly modelled exterior, all viewed as a distinct design entity. The original stripped classical style and the integrity of the internal detailing and fit out of the Courts and Library is overlaid by sympathetic additions with contrasting interior Art Deco design motifs.

  • 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.

  • Former Rockbank Beam Wireless Station
    Shire of Melton Heritage Study – Volume 5 Heritage Overlay No.: 108 Citation No.: 311 Place: Former Rockbank Beam Wireless Station Other Names of Place: Former Australian Beam Wireless Receiving Station. Location: 653-701 Greigs Road East, Mt Cottrell Critical Dates: Built 1926; Opened 1927; Closed 1969. Existing Heritage Listings: None. Recommended Level of Significance: NATIONAL/STATE Statement of Significance: Rockbank Park, 653-701 Greigs Road, Rockbank, is significant as the substantially intact former residential quarters of the Australian Beam Wireless Receiving Station, which commenced operation in 1927, and possibly as a fine example of early twentieth century „Commonwealth Departmental style‟ architecture (with particular Mission Revival overtones) in a landscape setting. It may have been designed by the Commonwealth Department of Works and Railways which was under the design control of J.S. Murdoch, Commonwealth Chief Architect and Director General of Works, and was built in 1926. The buildings and landscape setting at Rockbank Park appear to be remarkably intact. Consultants: David Moloney, David Rowe, Pamela Jellie (2006) Shire of Melton Heritage Study – Volume 5 Rockbank Park at 653-701 Greigs Road is architecturally significant at a STATE level (AHC D.2, E.1). The main building and associated four Bungalows demonstrate outstanding original design qualities that appear to relate to the Commonwealth‟s „Departmental style‟ with specific Mission Revival overtones. The original design qualities of the main building include the elaborate arched portico and carriage way that appears to draw on the Mission Revival design of the San Carlos Church, Monterey, U.S.A, together with the long hipped roof form and rear hipped roofed wings clad in terra cotta tiles: the whole forming a U plan.
