Historic Public Buildings of Australia de Australian Council of National Trusts - 1971

Cassell Australia Limited, Australia, 1971. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. This second volume in the series Historic Buildings of Australia provides ample proof of the extent of early settlers' aspirations. Wherever settlements were established, among the first permanent buildings to be raised were the government offices, the courthouses, and the military or police barracks - the nucleus of the new community and the essential requirement for the maintenance of law and order. Presented in chronological order by date of first construction, some forty buildings or groups of buildings are here described and superbly illustrated. Coverage is Australia-wide - from the earliest public buildings still in existence in Sydney and Hobart, via the grand civic buildings of New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, to the equally historic and often unique buildings of Queensland and Western Australia.
