Description
SECONDHAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
Mary Turner Shaw is by profession an architect, and by inclination a social historian.
This happy coincidence made her a ‘natural’ for the enjoyable task of chronicling the activities of the long-established family firm of master builders, T.R. & L. Cockram, who have been connected with the Melbourne and Victorian scene since 1853. Miss Turner Shaw’s book, as a result, is not just another work on the architecture of Melbourne, but something different.
The author’s intimate knowledge of the builder-architect-client relationship and her keen interest in materials and design have enabled her to write with authority on the work of the firm in school, terrace house, hotel, church, theatre and hospital construction, and the mark Cockram buildings have made on the fabric of Melbourne.
