Biography
architect and painter Trained under Byera Hadley at Sydney Technical College and Leslie Wilkinson at the University of Sydney. Chief draftsman on the Brisbane City Hall project in the 1920s. While in Brisbane he worked on a number of landscape paintings, one of which, In Roma Street (watercolour, 1921), was acquired by the then National Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1922. Dellit’s buildings include Kyle House and the Anzac Memorial in Sydney. He also designed the art deco interiors of the Kinsella funeral chapel (later used as a famous Sydney nightclub) and the Hotel Australia’s ballroom. His own house in Wahroonga was of a more modest, Spanish-influenced design. “Mr Dellit’s architecture trends along modern lines, and for his achievements in this direction he merits great praise” – Decoration and Glass , 1 July 1935, p 40.
