Biography
Architect and pottery entrepreneur was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he studied architecture at the Copenhagen Technical School. Mouritzen sought adventure and moved to South Africa and then to Charters Towers in Queensland where he was a building contractor. He moved to Western Australia in 1892 to be a draughtsman in the civil service and became Supervisor of Works and then architect for the Eastern District. He went into private practice as an architect and hotel owner. Mouritzen designed hotels in Boddington, Brookton, and Kunnunoppin in Western Australia. In 1921 he started the Calyx Porcelain and Paint Factory. When this was not as lucrative as Mouritzen would have liked, he returned to architecture in practice with George Temple Poole, whom he had known from their days in the PWD. They built the Capitol Theatre and the Temple Court Building in William Street, Perth, Western Australia. Writers: Dr Dorothy Erickson Date written: 2010 Last updated: 2011
