It says that "bandstand was built of wood on a concrete foundation with a wood shingled roof" so I'd say it most likely looks the same as when it was originally built.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-69543245732420576522012-02-05T11:06:50.256+11:002012-02-05T11:06:50.256+11:00Andrew and Bernd

Even though I have selected bandstands by the common date of their construction (1890-1915), each one is specially designed. <br /><br />I have added a reference to the Burra S.A bandstand because the wrought iron is more elaborate than usual and because the rotunda has a novel silhouette.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-34387176499655080372011-06-21T20:36:06.211+10:002011-06-21T20:36:06.211+10:00Dear Hels,

Mould designed a colourful Moorish bandstand that Olmsted wanted to use as a floating band shell on the Lake. This hexagonally planned, cast-iron pavilion with an opulent golden dome, was alas later torn down.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-14825190284115508202011-04-11T01:48:23.721+10:002011-04-11T01:48:23.721+10:00Hey Alan

They had offices in Melbourne and Sydney as well as a Ballarat office run by Charles Gilbert. Gilbert and Clegg later formed a partnership, which was subsequently dissolved and Clegg formally joined the Ballarat based firm of Kell and Miller in c1898. <br /><br />From then until c1905 the partnership of Clegg, Kell and Miller designed a wide range of buildings throughout central and western Victoria. These included churches, shops, grandstands, warehouses, hotels, houses, hospitals, banks and public buildings such as halls and mechanics institutes. The firm later formally became Clegg and Miller, then Clegg, Miller and Morrow, and finally Clegg and Morrow. Throughout the various personnel changes Clegg was the designer and he was also an accomplished draftsperson.<br /><br />Now you can look up work by Clegg and Miller or Clegg and Morrow of Ballarat :)<br />HelsHelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-71807038449844764862011-04-10T22:48:19.814+10:002011-04-10T22:48:19.814+10:00HI

Music in the open air must have been a nearly universal pleasure for turn of the century citizens.<br /><br />David, I added a link to the Port Melbourne bandstand. It isn't as gorgeous as some of the others, but its link to WW1 was very important to my story.

The Kogarah Community Centre was the old Kogarah Post Office. <br /><br />My St George blog actually contains photos that originally appeared on the Sydney - City and Suburbs blog. It's like the best of the best of the St George area because that's where I grew up and still live today. You can find those photos on my main Sydney blog, sometimes with more information, by doing a 'Search Blog' on Kogarah at the top or following the Suburb 'Labels' down the right hand side 'Suburbs - kogarah'. You can leave comments on the Sydney pages because I keep track of them.<br /><a href="http://sydney-city.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sydney - City and Suburbs</a>Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.com
