Charles William Thomas Fulton

[1] Charles Fulton was born in Sydney in 1906 and received his architectural training as an articled pupil of FE Stowe, architect and civil engineer.

He was particularly interested in the work of Dutch architect Willem Dudok, whose Hilversum Town Hall was influential in Britain in the early thirties.

[1][2] Charles Fulton was a key practitioner and teacher of the modern trends in architectural design in Queensland during the late thirties and forties.

All these later buildings were characterised by low pitched roofs, linear planning, cross ventilation, wide eaves or awnings and the use of modern materials.

Both Mr and Mrs Fulton were very attached to the house and garden and it remained virtually unaltered from when it was completed in 1940.
