Herbert Jory

He also learnt drawing from Harry P. Gill, who had brought with him from England the South Kensington system of art education, which entailed copying with a great deal of exactitude.

[3] Jory, one of the earliest architectural students in the state, was awarded a book prize by the South Australian Institute of Architects in 1907 for his design for "A gardener's lodge".

[3] Also while in the joint practice, Jory designed the pulpit for the St Francis Xavier's Cathedral (1922) which is regarded as an important example of church furniture.

[9] After setting up his own practice in 1930, known as H. H. Jory, he designed many buildings for the Roman Catholic church around Adelaide suburbs and in regional South Australia.

Jory took Stanley Pointer into his practice in 1935, as economic conditions slowly improved after the Great Depression, and they co-designed several churches.

[9] The Sydney-based magazine Builder commented that "the long narrow window openings, infilled with cast cement grilles, the design of which has an Eastern flavour, are an interesting innovation".

[22][23] Three men were appointed by the Governor of South Australia: Guy St John Makin as inaugural chairman, Leonard Ewens as registrar, and Norman Fisher.

[24] Jory died on 16 May 1966 at his residence named "Unley Park" in Joslin,[25] and obituaries were published by the South Australian Institute of Architects and The Advertiser.
