Samuel Charles Brittingham (1860-12 November 1944) was a British-born architect who worked extensively in Australia in the early twentieth century. ==Early life and career== Brittingham was a pupil in the Victorian Education Department from 1875-9 and then remained as assistant 1879-85, before taking up a position with the Victorian Public Works Department in 1886.〔''Directory of British Architects, 1834-1914'': Vol. 1 (A-K) by Alison Felstead, Jonathan Franklin p.258〕 He passed the examination of the Royal Institute of British Architects in London on 9 November 1906, although he appears to have sat it in Melbourne at the time. He became Victorian Government Architect and was responsible for a number of prominent public buildings in Victoria including the Old Arts Building at Melbourne University, 1919–24,〔(Walking Melbourne )〕 Parkville Post Office,〔(Victorian Heritage Register H1167 )〕 and Bourke St West Police Station〔( Victorian Heritage Register H0655 )〕 as well as a number of other public buildings. As government architect he was responsible for the first buildings in national parks, including the rangers house (1909) and visors' Chalet (1923) at Wilsons Promontory National Park. It is likely he also designed the Mount Buffalo Chalet. In 1918 Brittingham proposed a scheme to alleviate Melbourne's traffic congestion by constructing a bridge to extend Exhibition Street across the Jolimont railway yards anticipating the present Exhibitions Street extension by 80 years. He later attended own planning conferences and was instrumental in the new planning scheme devised for the Morwell coal fields. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Charles Brittingham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
