(BArch research report, Melbourne University 1984) the name of the architect, date as recorded by Goad, and then any special note on the design. The dates recorded by Goad are not always the original ones, as they sometimes post-date the leaflet in which the design appears. The letter K refers to as leaflet which is not in my collection but at the Museum of Victoria: Royal Victorian Institute of Architects, Small Homes Service. Holiday Homes.
