as newspaper  

YASS (N.S.W.) COURT HOUSE  

Although the design disregards conventions in many instances, the general effect is good,  

and the whole must be described as dignified building which suggests its purpose. Suffi-  

ciently elevated by flight of steps, the Doric columns and the tryglyphs make good  

central feature, though the projecting bands or cinctures on the shaft itself convey the  

impression that it is too many diameters in height. The rake of the pediment also is too  

great, although the magnificent coat of arms docs much to relieve it. In spite of all these  

details. Yass may congratulate itself on possessing classic courthouse of excellent com-  

position and proportions which will bear criticism.
