House Construction for Public Servants in the ACT and Allocation

The main transfers of Public Servants began in 1927. Some departments such as the Printers moved up to Canberra in 1926. Public Servants transferring to Canberra had a choice of cottage styles from which to select and the favourite was FCC 9. (FCC = Federal Capital Commission 1929-1930). The majority of cottages in the permanent suburbs were constructed in brick. A few timber cottages were built in 1926 for workmen in the suburb of Ainslie and Westridge (Yarralumla). Some public servants did select timber cottages.
