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 ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’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.

Description
An account of the resource
A view of Flinders Street Station, located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in Melbourne’s CBD. Flinders Street station was designed by architects James Fawcett and HCP Ashworth, who won a competition to re-design the station in 1899. Building commenced in 1900 and was completed in 1910. The architecture is often described as "Edwardian Free Style", which suggests a design featuring an eclectic mix of different architectural elements without favouring any particular style from the past (see Richard Apperly, Robert Irving, Peter Reynolds, <em>A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture: Styles and Terms from 1788 to the Present</em>, North Ryde, Angus & Robertson, 1989, p.139). However, the station architects described their design as “French Renaissance in a free manner”, which suggests rather that they did start with a particular Renaissance style in mind, into which they incorporated a number of other elements and influences, such as Art Nouveau (See the Victorian Heritage Database report at: <a href="http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;752" target="_self">http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;752</a>). The exterior of the station is constructed in red brick with yellow pressed cement decoration, while the interior also has a number of pressed metal features. A large dome, reminiscent of Brunelleschi’s fifteenth-century addition to The Duomo in Florence, adorns the roof of the station and is flanked on either side by a smaller cupola.

Description
An account of the resource
An image of the Redemptorist Monastery in North Perth, Western Australia. This Federation Gothic Style Monastery and the adjoining church were designed by Michael and James Cavanagh in 1902 for the Redemptorist Order of the Catholic Church, which had been established in WA in 1899. The building was opened by Bishop Gibney and Abbot Torres (from New Norcia) on 13 September 1903, and an additional monastery wing was added in 1912. The monastery and church were added to the WA Heritage Register in 2006.
The monastery is a three-storey building constructed from Cottesloe limestone. The arches around the main doorway are decorated with an acanthus leaf design matching the door to the Church. The entrance is flanked by two hexagonal columns that extend beyond the rooftop to form crenellated turrets. The upper level is also distinctive for its decorative stone corbels and false machiolations, and the elaborate blind tracery adorning the gables and pinnacles.
