Furthermore
At the outset of his career Blackett designed the Presbyterian Church, Heidelberg, and the children's wing and laundry of the Austin Hospital. He was noted for his house remodelling and as a designer of interior decoration and fittings. The partnership of Blackett & Forster designed several city buildings including Victor Horsley Chambers (1926) and Francis House (1927), both in Collins Street; in 1929 the firm received the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects' medal for Francis House. Outside the city, a few designs are known, including the Warburton Chalet (1929) and the Jessie Fraser Wing of Somers House, Black Rock (1935). The known houses of the practice are at Brighton Beach (1914), South Yarra (1917) and Euroa (1932).
