Isidore George Beaver
Isidore George Beaver[1] (1859 – 24 October 1934) was an architect from England who had a substantial career in Australia.
History
Beaver, originally from Manchester, in 1884 had an office on Victoria Square, Adelaide.[2] H. E. Fuller served his articles with him for four years from 1884. In 1885 he was a vice-president of the South Australian Architects Association.[3] He joined with partners Edmund Wright and James Henry Reed to form Wright, Reed & Beaver (dissolved 1893), and expanded their practice into the neighbouring colony Victoria.[4]
He moved to Victoria, and in 1901 had an office in Melbourne at 11 Elizabeth Street, and by 1915 was at 82 Elizabeth Street, when Arthur William Purnell joined him to form the partnership Beaver & Purnell which lasted 1915–1925.
Other interests
He was a member, with his yacht Bonita, of the Holdfast Bay Yacht Club,[5] and swam competitively in the Glenelg pool.[6] After moving to Victoria he rode to hounds from 1901 to 1934 with the Melbourne Hunt Club. From 1913 he was a member of the Toorak Bowling Club. He was a keen skater, and a director in the company formed in 1926 to reopen the Melbourne Glaciarium.[7]
Family
Albert Beaver (died 16 March 1909), who was arrested for embezzlement in 1897,[8] and then released under curious circumstances,[9] was a brother. Mrs Salenger of Sydney and Mrs. Schlank of Adelaide were sisters.
