Abstract
This book relates the untold story of how Australias first diplomatic mission was conceived, designed and built. Commenced in 1913, Australia House was opened in 1918 while the Great War still raged. Being Londons first purpose-built Dominion embassy building, it defined London as an Imperial capital. It is a story of ambitions and achievements global, imperial, local and personal.
