- Summary:
-
This is a biography of John Jasper Stone. Stone was born in Shoreditch, a poor part of London, and arrived in Australia at age seven, with his parents in 1855, settling in crowded Surry Hills. As a lad, he joined the Public Works Department in Sydney and trained as a draughtsman, later becoming a civil engineer. In 1888 Stone branched out on his own as a Consulting Engineer, Patent Attorney and Architect and over his working life was involved in many projects across New South Wales. This book is the culmination of research to identify Stone's various engineering, architectural and patent works and provides details of these projects that have been found.
