The engineering partnership of Hurren, Langman and James consisted of Frank

Hurren ASASM (1899-1992), William Wilson Langman and Wesley Hughes James

ME (Adel), FSASM, MIE Aust, (b1898). “During 1928 Hurren established the first

sustained consulting structural engineering practice in Adelaide to meet the small but

growing need for more specialised reinforced concrete structural expertise. His

practice survived the hard years of the Depression due to [Hurren’s] drive and self-

motivation. For over twenty years, the practice of Hurren, Langman and James was

the pre-eminent consulting structural engineering firm in Adelaide, highly respected

for its innovation and the quality of its work” (Stacy 2005 p87). On 10 August 1956,

on the retirement of Frank Hurren, the partnership of Hurren, Langman and James

was dissolved. James and Langman continued as Langman and James from 1 July

1956.

Frank Hurren studied at the S.A. School of Mines and Industries then worked in

Sydney. On his return to Adelaide he worked with both E. Stone and M.S. Stanley,

and later, in partnership with Langman and James he designed the structures of many

Adelaide buildings, such as Shell House, Elizabeth House, the Bank of N.S.W. and

the Savings Bank Building. William (Bill) Langman was Mayor of Burnside 1967-68

and was very active in the Adelaide Rotary Club. Wesley Hughes James studied at the

University of Adelaide and became a Junior Assistant Engineer in the Engineer-in

Chief's Department in 1922. He then went to England and America, returning to

Adelaide in 1927 where he gained the Degree of Master of Engineering in 1931.

James worked with W. Francis before joining with Hurren and Langman, where he

designed such structures as the Pt. Augusta and Osborne Power Stations. He was

Chairman of the Institution of Engineers (S.A. Division) in 1944 (Cumming and

Moxam 1986).

Collection description

Hurren, Langman and James were a structural engineering firm who worked with

many architectural firms in South Australia and interstate. This collection of records

came from the Mortlock Library of South Australiana, at the State Library of South

Australia as a specialist group of business records. It consists of plans and drawings,

calculations for jobs, correspondence, specifications and books. As these records,

when accessed by the archivists, had no discernible order, they have been organised

into groups related to the functions of the buildings described, then the owner's name.

They are a valuable addition to the Architecture Museum because they contain work

by architects not previously represented in the collections. Plans are stored in plan file

drawers unless designated as 'Box' when they are stored in the archive boxes.




This series includes those calculations, estimates, plans and drawings from the Hurren

Langman and James office concerning; churches, (church halls), schools (primary,

high, technical and adult learning), colleges (boarding houses, gymnasiums),

universities (lecture halls, library), war memorials (unless they are hospitals), local

government buildings (town halls, council chambers). Related information may be in

other series.
