A collection of photographs documenting three Canberra construction projects:
1. Belconnen Western Offices (BWO), later named the Benjamin Offices, constructed for the National Capital Development Commission during 1975 – 1978;
2. Family Law Courts, under construction during 1979; and
3. Calvary Hospital, which began in the mid 1970s. Kevin Barrass identifies himself as project manager in one of the Calvary Hospital photographs.
Ted Richards, a commercial photographer in Ainslie and then Manuka, appears to have been engaged to record progress on both the Belconnen offices and the Calvary Hospital projects.
