Change to Dalton's list of projects
Hello Kerry Thank you for your email. My name is Dr Elizabeth Musgrave and I wrote my PhD on John Dalton under the supervision of Professor Philip Goad at The University of Melbourne. On-going research will contribute to a book to be published by Bloomsbury next year. I am new to interacting with Wikipedia and have never attempted to make or amend an entry I thought I had provided an explanation for my change but clearly my explanation did not register. I am pleased to clarify why I made a change to Dalton's list of projects. The Halex Residence was designed by a young architect Fergus Johnston. He gives the dates as 1972-1973. The project, a speculative project comprising 5 units, was passed onto Johnston by Bill Goodsir of Goodsir Baker Wilde. It was not published but Johnston did enter the project into the RAIA Queensland Chapter Awards and commissioned photographs for his Awards entry. I have seen these photographs. I have also seen drawings and sketches. One of the units in this complex was the last home of Bruce Lucas. This information was given in an interview with Fergus and Jane Johnston at their home in St Lucia on 25 June 2022. The interview was recorded for upload to the Digital Archive of Queensland Architecture. Now to address the question of how the project ever came to be on the list. The list was compiled by Bachelor of Architecture students at the University of Queensland as part of a history research project. The list began with a list of images on a DVD created by John Dalton himself and is augmented by lists of projects contained in Dalton's papers. I assisted in the generation of this list but was always dubious about the inclusion of the Halex House because I could find no direct link between the project and Dalton. Dalton's papers contain no record of the Halex House. Nor do they contain drawings or images of the project. I am happy to discuss further.
