Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

The Former Magistrate’s Court Building is a three-storey building of French Romanesque design. The doorway is in the neo-Romanesque, Romanesque Revival, or Norman Revival architecture style. It features a deep-set semi-circular arched door and doorway with stone decorated hood moulding. The door is flanked by two small columns with decorated capitals. The Former Magistrate’s Court building was designed by Department of Public Works architect George H B Austin and built by the Swanson Brothers. It replaced a two-storey brick building on the site that previously housed the Supreme Court and then the Court of Petty Sessions. Construction of the new building began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. The Court of Petty Sessions, later renamed the Melbourne Magistrate’s court, operated from the building from 1914 until 1995. It is now owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and is used for lectures.

Description An account of the resource The former St Matthew’s Presbyterian Church is in the suburb of Glenorchy in Hobart, Tasmania. The church is in the Romanesque Revival style and is one of the earliest remaining Romanesque Revival buildings in Australia. The style is evident in the rear window of the church, made up of three narrow windows featuring tracery with semi-circular arches, above which are two small circular windows. The window frame also has a semi-circular arch, with columns and capitals on either side of the window. St Matthew’s was designed by the convict architect James Blackburn (1803-1854) in 1839. The foundation stone was laid by Governor Sir John Franklin (1786-1847) in 1839 and the church was built by the Hobart company Kirk and Fisher and completed in 1841. Romanesque Revival architecture is sometimes referred to as Neo-Norman due to the Normans influence in spreading the Romanesque style through England after their conquest in 1066.

Description An account of the resource St Matthew’s Presbyterian Church is in the suburb of Glenorchy in Hobart, Tasmania. It was designed by the convict architect James Blackburn (1803-1854) in 1839. The foundation stone was laid by Governor Sir John Franklin (1786-1847) in 1839 and the church was built by the firm Kirk and Fisher and completed in 1841. The church is in the Romanesque Revival style and is one of the earliest remaining Romanesque Revival buildings in Australia. The style is evident in the use of semi-circular arches on the windows, doorway, and the blind arcading above the doorway. The building also has buttresses, a large square corner tower, and three smaller octagonal corner towers. The church is unusual in having its cemetery at the front of the building. Romanesque Revival architecture is sometimes referred to as Neo-Norman due to the Normans influence in spreading the Romanesque style through England after their conquest in 1066.

St Michael’s Uniting Church was designed by architectural firm Reed and Barnes in a Victorian Romanesque style. The style has more specifically been described as ‘Lombardic Romanesque’ on account of the polychrome brickwork and campanile style tower pictured here (See, for example, the Victorian Heritage Register: <a href="http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;721">http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;721</a>). The polychrome pattern is unusual for a neo-romanesque building, as it was more often found in buildings of gothic design. The church was constructed by John Young between 1866 and 1867, and was originally named The Independent Church. It was renamed in 1977.

Designed by American architect John Eberson in conjunction with Melbourne firm Bohringer, Taylor & Johnson, The Forum was originally built as a cinema palace. Completed in 1928, it is one of four cinemas that opened in Melbourne in the 1920s. The exterior of the building combines Spanish Mission and â€˜Alhambresqueâ€™ Moorish Revival architecture. The minarets, cupolaâ€™s and pressed cement decorations are reminiscent of Islamic Spanish architecture dating from the eighth to the fifteenth century. The Iberian Peninsula was conquered in 711 by the Muslim army of Tariq ibn Ziyad, and the various southern Spanish States remained under Arab or Moorish Islamic rule until they were gradually reconquered by Catholic monarchs throughout the later medieval period. The reconquest ended with the conversion of Andalusia in 1492.

The Former Magistrateâ€™s Court building was designed by Department of Public Works architect George H B Austin and built by the Swanson Brothers. It is a three-storey building of French Romanesque style that was constructed entirely from Australian materials. The corner site was well-established as the location of the Cityâ€™s law courts, having previously housed the Supreme Court and then the Court of Petty Sessions in a two-storey brick building that was demolished in 1910 to make way for the current building. Construction of the new building began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. The strongly modelled entrance, thick, squat columns and solid masonry are characteristic of Norman Revival or neo-romanesque architecture, as are the tourelles, tower, parapeted gables and semi-circular windows and arches. The Court of Petty Sessions, later renamed the Melbourne Magistrateâ€™s court, operated from the building from 1914 until 1995. It is now owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and is used for lectures.

The Former Magistrateâ€™s Court Building is a three-storey building of French Romanesque design that was constructed entirely from Australian materials. The strongly modelled entrance, thick, squat columns and solid masonry are characteristic of Norman Revival or neo-romanesque architecture, as are the tourelles, the tower and semi-circular windows and arches. The Former Magistrateâ€™s Court building was designed by Department of Public Works architect George H B Austin and built by the Swanson Brothers. It replaced a two-storey brick building on the site that previously housed the Supreme Court and then the Court of Petty Sessions. Construction of the new building began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. The Court of Petty Sessions, later renamed the Melbourne Magistrateâ€™s court, operated from the building from 1914 until 1995. It is now owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and is used for lectures.
