Edmund Cooper Manfred (5 June 1856 – 20 February 1941)[1] often referred as E.C. Manfred was an English born Australian architect who was prominent for his works for designing well known and iconic buildings in Goulburn, New South Wales.[2]
Early life
Manfred was born on 5 June 1856 in Kensington, London. He was the only child of Mr. Edward Manfred, who was an architect and surveyor.[1] By 1870, Manfred and his widowed mother sailed to join their family in Sydney who had already settled in Manly. Manfred completed his education and undertook training as an architect.[3]
Work
Manfred was a qualified architect who designed most iconic buildings and parks in Goulburn, including the town hall, Goulburn Hospital, Belmore Park, St. John's Orphanage and St. Joseph's Orphanage in Kenmore.[4][5][6] As well as that, Manfred was a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales and the Royal Historical Society of New South Wales.[1]
Death
Manfred died on 20 February 1941 at the age of 84. He was survived by six sons, three who had predeceased him.[1] By the time of his death, he played a prominent role in the civic and business life of Goulburn for more than 60 years. A plaque was erected in the St Saviour's Cathedral to commemorate him, as he was associated with the building.[7] The State Library of New South Wales opened a collection of Manfred's works in 2013, with the first exhibitions opened on 24 February.[8]
