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.

Title A name given to the resource Former Magistrate’s Court Building, Melbourne Subject The topic of the resource architecture, building, columns, Court of Petty Sessions, George B H Austin, hood moulding, law, law courts, magistrate, Magistrate’s Court, masonry, Melbourne, neo-romanesque, Norman Revival, Public Works Department, RMIT, Romanesque architecture, rounded arches, semi-circular arches, stonework, Supreme Court, Swanson Brothers, tower, turrets, university, university buildings, Victoria, arch Description An account of the resource An image of the Former Magistrate’s Court Building on the corner of La Trobe Street and Russell Street in Melbourne’s CBD. 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 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 City’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 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.

St Paul’s is the official Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. It was built in a Victorian Gothic style to the design of prominent English architect William Butterfield. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the Cathedral was consecrated just over a decade later when the initial stage of the building was completed in 1891. Butterfield oversaw the building remotely until 1884, when he resigned following disputes with the Church authorities in Melbourne. The remainder of the construction was supervised by well-known local architect Joseph Reed. Construction of the Cathedral’s three towers and distinctive neo-gothic spires began in 1926. They were designed by Sydney architect John Barr, and are not in keeping with Butterfield’s more modest original plans. Other distinctive architectural features of St Paul’s include its multiple lancet windows, decorative blind tracery, chequered tiling on the wall above the entrance and elaborate stained glass processional doors inside the entrance doorway. The cathedral interior is notable for its horizontally striped pattern, which is based on a design from thirteenth century Siena Cathedral.

The Cathedral’s mixture of early and late gothic styles is evident in this window; the flamboyant arches (each has a trefoil head rather than a simple point) are typical of the late gothic period, but the tracery and overall composition is not as ornate as would be seen in a decorated gothic window. The Cathedral’s distinctive chequered tiling surrounds the windows, capped by a blind arcade of lancet arches.
