"Trafalgar Studio' one of Australia's best known recording studios" - commercialrealestate.com.au "Trafalgar Studios 74B Trafalgar Street Annandale" - www.mainwaring.com.au/music_syd.asp "The studio was at 74B Trafalgar Street, Annandale, conducted by Chaluz Enterprises Pty Ltd, Recording and Production Company. John Metcalfe’s and my involvement in its design and construction was from June 1973 to October 1974....The Trafalgar Street studios presented problems that were not only of producing a suitable studio and control room. It was under a flight path to Sydney Airport, and there were economic restrictions. The factory only had a roof without ceiling so a considerable amount of noise had to be eliminated by new ceilings and walls within the existing envelope....What we had not foreseen was just audible in the eerie quiet at night: the ships, berthed a kilometre and more away had their generators running – the very low frequency component of their noise was being transmitted through the water and the land mass all this way" - Memories of an Acoustic Consultant, 1961 to 1980, Ross Thorne (www.rossthorne.com)

| 1926 | The building at 74B Trafalgar Street Annandale appears to be Art Deco, possibly built after the sale of the land in a sub-division of 3 Collins St Annandale. However, the discovery of a 1926 advertisemet indicates that the factory may be older. Which has lead to the possibility based on another memory that the building at 74b Trafalgar Street may have been 19th century stables or a purpose built factory designed by John Horbury Hunt.

Persuading parliament to grant the council additional powers of resumption and borrowing money, as lord mayor in 1905-06 and 1909-12 Taylor embarked on a vigorous programme of civic improvement. - adbonline.anu.edu.au Wife of Alderman Allen Arthur Taylor Sir Allen Taylor, M.L.C., one of Sydney's' best known business men, died suddenly at the age of 76, at his home, in Centennial Park on friday - newspapers.nla.gov.au Allen Taylor and Co.

'Improvement' and 'beautification' were seen to be central to human and environmental efficiency and thus to material progress. Lord Mayor Allen Taylor, a timber merchant and ship-owner, embaked ruthlessly on 'civic improvement until his retirement in 1912' Taylor was to inform his fellow aldermen in a minute of 1906, that even parks should be maintained at 'the highest stated of efficiency' Parks were not only 'the lungs of the city' and a manifestation of civic pride and worth, they were morally and mentally uplifting and thus reacted on human efficency." - page 34, the Accidental City Politically conservative, Taylor joined the Citizens Reform Association which broke Labor's domination of the City Council in 1921. Allen Taylor was clearly concerned with national efficiency. But he was far more interested in demolishing what he believed to be uneconomic slum areas, in building factories and warehouses in the City and in improving urban transport facilities than with housing displaced people - page 41, the Accidental City During 1912, Allen Taylor and other aldermen, supported conservative Lord Mayor George Clarke's attempt to rescind a 1908 resolution and increase the maximum height of buildings from 150 to 200 feet. - page 41 the Accidental City In 1917, at the request of the Lord Mayor Meagher, Alderman Taylor MLC chaired the NSW section of the first Australian Town Planning conference in Adelaide. Walter Burley Griffin argued at the conference for planning for economy in its broadest sense and opted for direct, more aggressive intervention in the moulding of the physical enviroment. He indicated the strong desire of planning lobbyists to identify their discipline with sound business practice as well as the scientific method, which was also bing applied in the factory, through Taylorism, and in the home, through the soon-to-blossom domestic science movemement...a system of trial and error - experiments and progressive accomplishments' - pages 45-48 the Accidental City
Though identifed as 1900 in catalogue, this map is probaby earlier as it shows the original subdivisions. It is worth noticing the bridge on parramatta road over Whites Creek. Also, Wells Street is shown, where it did not exist on the 1890 map "Plan of north Annandale [cartographic material] : municipality of Leichhardt / the property of the Sydney Freehold, Land, Building & Investment Coy.

He concluded by presenting them with a handsomely illuminated address, in which was the photo of the Mayor, views of the town hall, the Mayor's residence, post and telegraph office, Annandale and appropriate Australian floral ornamentations. the address which was prepared at the establishment of John Sands, Sydney, was a work of art. - newspapers.nla.gov.au ...February 12th, 1896...Election of Mayor... for Ald john young Aldermen Ferris, Wells, Francis , Ridge, Gutherie and Young 6 for Ald Allan Taylor Aldermen Smith, Broad, Taylor, Horton and Dwyer 5.....election of works and sanitary committee....Ferris, Taylor Ridge and Dwyer....Finance committee Gutherie, Broad,Wells, Francis...amendment that [Finance] committee exist of whole of council was lost.

The building is ununusal as it has a brick balcony and ironwork. The stucco is an Arts and Crafts feature and the balcony appears to be a forerunner of the later wooden decorated federation balconies. Wooten, Collins Street corner Trafalgar before 1899 was on the recorded list, in the National Trust Register, prior to 1980. These items are being reviewed individually by the Trust to determine whether they qualify for classification - National Trust Register As at January 1, 1982. However, the confusion about the date of the home could be due to the Taylors moving to it in 1894 not 1886 (when they got married at the Hunter Baillie Temporary [red brick] church (now church hall) - Hunter Baillie 121 Anniversary Service)..."Moving to Sydney about 1882, he [Allen Taylor] attended night-school while working for railway contractors.
