Daniel Garlick

Daniel Garlick (20 January 1818 – 28 September 1902) was an architect in the early days of South Australia. After his death two competing firms of architects claimed his aegis in their partnership names.

History

Daniel Garlick arrived in Adelaide aged 19 with his father Moses Bendle Garlick (c. 1784 – October 1859) and siblings Deborah, William (aged 15), Thomas (aged 11) aboard Katherine Stewart Forbes from London, first landing at Kingscote, Kangaroo Island in October 1837, just a year after the "First Fleet of South Australia". Soon afterwards Moses Garlick, a plasterer by trade, built on the banks of the Torrens Adelaide's first permanent dwelling;[1] unauthorised, as surveying of the city had not been completed. Similar dwellings nearby were those of William Pritchard and Isaac French.[2] In 1839 he built North Adelaide's first house, "White Court House".[3] In 1841 Moses Garlick founded a timber and building business in Kermode Street, North Adelaide, and Daniel was practising as an architect by 1853.

Around 1850 Moses passed the timber business to a Mr. Turner,[4] and the family moved from North Adelaide to a 450 acres (180 ha) property in Munno Para East, dubbed "Uley" for their hometown Uley, Gloucestershire (also Colonel Henry Kingscote's birthplace), and later became the township Uleybury. Moses donated an acre of land to the Baptist church and built a chapel. The family grew wheat and grapes and made wine.

Daniel, whose health was not robust, took little part in the farming business. He ran his architecture practice from "Uley", later sharing an office with Smith & Cullen in nearby Gawler. His projects included country houses, shops, churches and chapels in the city and the countryside north of Adelaide. In 1857 he opened his own office in Murray Street, Gawler. Later that year he advertised his services as a moneylender,[5] and entered into a short-lived partnership with George Abbott (c. 1793 – 3 April 1869),[6] later with the Colonial Architect's Department.[7]

He went into partnership in Register Chambers, Adelaide, in December 1868 with William McMinn[8] which was similarly cut short in 1871 when McMinn received a Government appointment.

He supervised his son Arthur while he was serving his articles, then as a partner from June 1884,[9] over the next fifteen years changing their focus between Adelaide and Broken Hill several times depending on the economic climate.[10]

Some time before 1886 Garlick & Son took on students Herbert Louis Jackman (1867–1936) and A. G. Salmon.[11][12]

In 1891 a partnership Jackman and Garlick was established to handle the Broken Hill practice. In June 1892 the two partnerships were combined,[13] then dissolved in 1899 when Garlick retired.

A few weeks before he died, Garlick entered into a new partnership with Henry Evan "Harry" Sibley (c. 1867–1917),[14] which never was put into practice.

Sibley, by arrangement with Mrs. Garlick,[15] continued to trade as "Garlick & Sibley" for several years then Garlick, Sibley & Wooldridge to 1910. The name "Garlick & Jackman", then "Garlick, Jackman & Gooden" perpetuated his name to around 1950 when the firm became Jackman, Gooden & Scott.[16]
