Publishers Description: In the first definitive biographical dictionary of Queensland architects, Don Watson and Judith McKay identify almost 800 architects and firms who practised in the Colony before 1900. Their backgrounds, careers, buildings and their legacy to the States heritage are examined in succint, well-researched entries. The extended experience of many of the architects in other Australian Colonies and overseas is also documented. The text is enhanced by almost 800 contemporary illustrations. Queensland Architects of the Nineteenth Century is the first comprehensive publication in its field in Australia and is the result of almost two decades of research by the authors. It will radically transform the understanding of the cultural significance of Queensland architecture at a time when increased attention is being focussed on the States architectural heritage.
