FCC style examples[edit]

15 Arthur Circle: From the statement of significance -

Designed in 1926, the house at 15 Arthur Circle comprises the only example of a Federal Capital Commission (FCC) Type 15 residence to have been built in Canberra, being rare as both as a two-storey residence and demonstrating the architectural style of the English Arts and Crafts movement.
The FCC type 15 was one of four FCC designs that demonstrate the strong influence of the English Arts and Crafts movement, particularly the work of C.F.A. Voysey, upon Federal Capital Commission architects. Of the four FCC designs demonstrating the Arts and Craft influence (types 12, 13, 14, 15), a total of only four houses are believed to have been constructed, several of which have been substantially altered.
The existing residence at 15 Arthur Circle remains predominantly intact, particularly in respect of the street elevations. It exhibits characteristic features of the style, including a steeply pitched roof to accommodate loft rooms, the use of face brickwork in construction, prominent gables emanating from a ridgeline across the shortest axis of the building, a large tiled window hood across the gable; and a verandah integrated under the roof.

to get to B class there could be a bit more about the burocracy, how it was formed (act of parliament?), did it make any publications? and some more references. I will upload a picture of John Butters, but it may not be for this article! GB 22:07, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
