for a revised layout.

  The interior is of a high quality of material, finish and detail throughout. Most of the detail is
  intact. The interior detail is a fine example of inter-war stripped classical style with Art Deco detail. Workmanship is of a high quality. The busts in the foyer wall and animal plaques in the galleries and courtyard are unique decorative elements tied to the buildings and original inhabitants.

  Alterations to the interior have generally been done in a manner sympathetic to the original detail. The adaptation of the North Gallery has changed the appreciation of the original character of the space. However the works are reversible.

  The changes to the theatre have totally changed the space and appreciation of the original theatre. The fitout is to provide a modern lecture theatre and it is meant to be reversible.

  THE RESIDENCE

  Excepting for some elements of bathrooms, the interior of the Residence is substantially intact. Some original fabric has been replaced in refurbishment repair work. New work has been to match original detail.

  The interior is simple yet elegant in its detail with a deco influence.

  The interior is in reasonable condition except for quite extensive cracking.

  ANNEX

  The interior of the Annex wing is a modern commercial fitout
  comprising plasterboard-finished walls, with aluminium framed internal doors, screens and windows. All furniture and fixtures in the fitout are new, and of modern design.

    >        National Australian Archives (now National Archives of Australia). War records were transferred to the War Museum in 1920, with several attempts to establish an Archives office over the next 20 years. The first Archives Officer, as part of the
    National Library was established in 1944 and the independent
