| Biography/History | Architect Eric Nicholls was Walter Burley Griffin's business partner and managed their Melbourne office. In 1932 he moved to Sydney with his family to live at Castlecrag. Following Griffin's death in 1937, Nicholls continued the architectural practice from Castlecrag. During Nicholl's lifetime he kept custody of a large collection of Griffin's papers and photographs. On his death in 1966 this custody passed to his children, Marie and Glynn, from whom the collection was acquired in 2006. |
