RUSSAU, HF

Architect

Worked in Cape Town c1904, living in Claremont.

This is probably the same person as HF Russan who applied for a job in Brisbane in June 1909 having arrived there in c.January from New South Wales. When he was unable to obtain employment as an architect’s assistant he worked on a farm at Samford outside Brisbane. It was not a formal application – he was enquiring if there was a vacancy. He said he trained as an architect in Cape Town, before practicing privately there for 4 years. He later submitted examples of his work but it was “not of the nature of the work executed in this office“ [that probably means it was residential or commercial].
