Abstract

Arnold Dunbar Smith (1866-1933) and Cecil Claude Brewer (1871-1918) formed a partnership in London in 1895, establishing a reputation as arts and crafts architects working in the so-called "Free Style" of the 1890s. The firm's work was mainly domestic, using vernacular traditions, until their design for the National Museum of Wales (1910) in which they employed the then-popular Beaux-Arts style. Contains approximately 5,000 architectural drawings (1896-(1900-1919)-1939) which best represent Smith and Brewer's domestic work. Also included are drawings for the firm's most well-known work (The Fives Court, National Museum of Wales, Armstrong College).
