1895c Carl Gustav Joachimi wth grandson Rudolph
Architect and first owner of 155 Gipps Street, East Melbourne.
Carl Gustav Joachimi came to Australia in 1854 from Saxony, Germany and worked for the Public Works Dept. in Melbourne. He worked on the Old Melbourne Gaol and Former Observatory, and he designed Victoria Barracks in Melboune. He appears to have been let go from that position. He later opened a practice in Adelaide where he designed a shopping arcade, Ochitree House, hotels, and other buildings.
