Final week: Congratulations to Graham O’Loghlin of Yarralumla who was the primary reader to accurately establish final week’s picture as “the scholar residences on the western finish of the campus of the College of Canberra designed by John Anderson”. Graham simply beat a barrage of different readers to the prize, together with Ken Moylan, Megan Moore of Curtin and Nick Hillier of Sunshine Bay to the prize. A number of readers clarify though the official title is “Scholar Residences Group 2” they’re nicknamed the “Egg Cartons” resulting from their stacked look, which, once they have been constructed 51 years in the past, have been as Margaret Carmody of Queanbeyan recollects, “described as harking back to a southern European hill city”. Additional, as Sue Morton of Weston factors out, the grouping of bedrooms round small communal services was progressive for the time and mirrored a need by college students to not reside within the extra conventional block sort residential faculties. The Egg Cartons are on the Register of Vital 20th Century Structure for the ACT and entered the ACT Heritage Register in 2008.
