Early Buildings “Cultural Asset”
Brisbane, Nov. 10. – Australian architects will ask the State Government to establish trusts to preserve historical buildings.
This decision was made by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Federal Council today.
The council, in a special statement, said it regarded early buildings of historical and architectural interest as a cultural asset and a national heritage.
The Federal President (Mr. Cobden Parkes) is understood to have told the council that historians and architects should prepare lists of buildings in Australia considered worthy of preservation at whatever the cost.
