Architectural and engineering design and drafting
Unique IDAY-0087Description*** This activity applies to the City of Sydney only ***
Preparation of drawings and plans for all Council purposes.
This activity must have commenced soon after the incorporation of the Council in 1842, as the Council took over responsibilities for matters such as drainage and sewerage, water supply, and so on.
The earliest architectural drawings to survive in the Archives date from 1869-70 (Town hall, Prince Alfred Park exhibition building), but it is not completely clear whether thay are Council drawings or were prepared on Council's behalf by another party.
Engineering drawings survive from the 1850s, and other earlier ones may have been transferred when the Council lost responsibility for water supply and sewerage in 1888.
