Anecdote | Alfred Louis Smith and Arthur Ebden Johnson were architects who designed many instrumental public buildings of Melbourne in the classical style. Both architects emigrated from London to Melbourne where they had been trained by leading British architects and designers in the execution of the classical style. After meeting each other in the Colonial Architect's Department they opened a private practice connected with the Public Works Department (PWD). Despite the popularity of other architectural styles of the time such as Gothic, Smith and Johnson practiced in a time when the dignity of classical architecture was still considered the right and proper style for town halls, museums, art galleries and post offices. This perception of public buildings coupled with Smith and Johnson's background gave them great opportunities to execute instrumental buildings in a burgeoning new city flooded with the prosperity of the 1851 Victorian Gold Rush. Works completed by Smith and Johnson included the Bank of Victoria, Imperial Insurance office, and Baring Chambers in Market Street, the Athenaeum, Union Bank and Ebden's house in Collins Street, the Fire Brigade Station in Eastern Hill, Esplanade Hotel in St. Kilda and adjoining residence, the old Fish Market, Presbyterian Church in William Street, numerous banks and large residences, the Melbourne Law Courts, and the Colonial Bank. Their commitment to the establishment of architecture in Victoria was further exemplified when, in 1856, with T.J. Crouch they were founders of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects (Royal Society of Victoria) (RVIA), and became members of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria in 1958/59. Contents 1 Arthur Ebden Johnson, 1821-1895 2 Alfred Louis Smith, 1830-1907 3 Completed Works 4 References 5 External links Arthur Ebden Johnson, 1821-1895 Born in the south of England Johnson studied at the Royal Academy and Royal Institute of British Architects, and was a pupil of Philip Hardwick in London. At the age of 17 Johnson committed to a 5-year apprenticeship with the firm of Wigg & Pownall in London. In 1840-1 he was awarded a prize from the Architectural Association for a great number of approved sketches. In 1843 in recognition of his abilities in neoclassical architecture, was awarded the Soane medal. In 1846 at the age of 25 Johnson became partner of late Sir Horace Jones, city Architect of London; who in conjunction with Mr. Pearson erected Weighbridge Church in Surrey. In 1845 he received the Gold Medal from the Royal Academy. Johnson left the U.K. and emigrated to Melbourne in 1851 and was appointed architect for the Colonial Treasurer. It was here that he met Albert Smith, and in April 1852 resigned to begin the private practice "Smith & Johnson". In 1889 Johnson was awarded the silver medal for Architectural Designs and Drawings in connection with the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition. Johnson became the Australian Institute of Architects's Victoria President from 1893 to 1895. Johnson died on 29 May 1895, aged 74. Alfred Louis Smith, 1830-1907 Born in London, Smith trained under the Master Builder Thomas Cubitt, who was from a family of well-respected architects working in the classical style, this experience exposed Smith to an architectural practice building major landmark structures in London. After emigrating to Melbourne, Smith was employed by the Colonial Architects office in 1851; it was here that he met Arthur Johnson, and in April 1852 Smith resigned from his position at the Colonel Office to establish a private practice with him. In 1892 he was Elected Fellow at the RVIA. Smith died at Bedford Lodge, St.Kilda, in 1907, aged 77. Completed Works Royal Australian College of Surgeons (1854–1856) Arthur E.
