Lindsay Gordon Scott

Lindsay Gordon Scott ARAIA (1898 – 4 January 1941) was an Australian architect best associated for his design of the Erskineville Town Hall and numerous surf pavilions in New South Wales, including several on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

[11][12] In private practice Scott continue to design all manner of works including residential dwellings and commercial and industrial premises.

His design for an Inter-war Old English style residence overlooking Collaroy Beach featured in prominent architectural magazine, Building, in 1937.

[23] This design however was found to be too expensive and grand for a small municipality in a primarily working-class area of Sydney and was later revised to be a scaled down single-storey building without the tower in a similar red brick Mediterranean style.

[29][30] Survived by his wife Audrey and son John, Scott's funeral was held at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Manly, before his body was cremated at Northern Suburbs Crematorium.
