Interestingly enough Brisbane was originally ran by several District Councils which were finally amalgamated</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">into a single entity. The old Windsor Council Building still stands and is of stone construction with craw steps</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">on the gables. Now a museum I must try overcoming local parking problems and try to find out who designed and</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
built it and when. I suspect Scottish stonemasons were involved. Some were 'imported' to Australia to build the stone piers of</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Sydney Harbour Bridge. Of course stonemasons from Edinburgh's Mary's Chapel Lodge</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> built the White House assisted by trained locals. The Americans first gave them black slaves</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">which caused the US's first industrial dispute as the Scots refused to accept them as apprentices had to be initiated into</div>
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">their Lodge. Such candidates had to be Free men.</span><br> <p style="margin: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;" face="Helvetica" size="3">Regards</font></p>
