Summary:

The Douglas Shadbolt Fonds consists of 62 drawings, mostly photostat and diazotype prints, for 13 projects. The date range of the documents is from 1949 to about 1956, Shadbolt's most intense period working in architectural offices and on his own. Seven of the projects (counting the poorly identified National Gallery competition perspective) were designed by Shadbolt while in the office of McCarter & Nairne. These include a range of building types, including a school, housing project, church addition, Federal office and warehouse building, a residence, and a fraternity house. Shadbolt's short stay with the firm Sharp & Thompson, Berwick, Pratt is represented by a small tour bus station in Victoria. The five single family residences designed independently by Shadbolt comprise the Archive's original drawings in graphite on paper. For the house built for the late Jack Shadbolt and his wife Doris, drawings and prints show a number of the dozen-odd preliminary design proposals the architect drew up in 1950-1951.
