Geoffrey Hamilton Gore commenced his architectural education in 1916 at the Sydney Technical College. He began practicing as a registered architect in the early 1920's and continued working until the early 1970's. While most of the work is residential the collection also includes examples of schools, shops, churches and clubs. Many of the projects are situated in and around Campbelltown where the architect lived throughout his career. The collection is representative of the most common architectural styles of Sydney over six decades.
