Bates Smart

Bates Smart is Australia's oldest architectural firm, and one of the world's oldest, established in 1853 by Joseph Reed as the practice Reed and Barnes.

In 1883 Henderson and Smart, of Reed and Barnes rejoined as partners. W.B. Tappin became a partner and the firm was renamed Reed, Smart and Tappin. When Reed died, Smart became head of the firm.

Smart died two years later and N.G. Peebles joined with F.J. Smart's son as Smart, Tappin and Peebles. The firm later became Bates, Peebles and Smart to work on the State Library of Victoria's Reading Room. When Peebles died, the firm became Bates Smart. They were later joined joined by Walter Osborn McCutcheon who remained until 1995, after which the firm has been known simply as Bates Smart.
