In
1813, Governor Macquarie was resolute that Sydney needed a court
house and that it should be a "plain substantial building
of suitable size and respectable exterior appearance..."
He engaged Australia's first architect, D. D. Mathew, who created
a design for a two-storey building with two wings and a Doric
portico. Macquarie sent the plans to London to Earl Bathurst,
the Secretary of State for the Colonies, together with a request
for funds. But funds were denied as "penal colonies had
no need of fancy buildings." It was not until 1819, that
Macquarie set the foundation stone of a court house designed
by convict architect Francis Greenway who had been transported
to Australia for forgery.
