Title: J.J. Clark: child prodigy architect and his winning but ill-fated design for a Free Public Library in Sydney
Author(s): Dodd, Andrew
Abstract: There are some architectural drawings in the collection of the State Library of Victoria that seem distinctly out of place. When you come across them you find yourself asking why they are held in Melbourne and not in Sydney where they might logically belong. This reaction is understandable given the drawings comprise the winning design for Sydney's Free Public Library, the precursor to the present State Library of New South Wales. [Introduction]
