Biography
Eales was an architect and amateur artist, born in Exmouth, Devon and educated at Totnes Grammar School. He was articled to E. H. Harbottle and undertook work specializing in restoration of churches. Eales spent time sketching on the continent before he emigrated to Australia and joined the Victorian civil service in 1887. He had his own practice in Ballarat in the 1890s. In 1897, in conjunction with C. L. Oldham, he won a competition to build the Fremantle Markets and opened a practice in Fremantle. His residence was the Fremantle Club and then the Albion Hotel. In 1908 Eales married Mabel Lilley. He was an amateur musician and was organist for a number of churches and designed the organ in the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Perth. He opened a practice in St Georges Terrace in 1912 and in 1913 joined Cohen in partnership as Eales & Cohen. He specialized in designs for hotels and homesteads. He exhibited a pen and ink sketch with the West Australian Society of Arts in 1913 and architectural drawings in 1922. Among the buildings he designed were the Anglican Church in Collie, the Fremantle Powerhouse, the Katanning Hotel and Newmarracarra Homestead near Geraldton.
