S.M. Logan
1876–1948
Family man, architect, business leader, building contractor, undertaker, timber and joinery retailer, church-goer, brick maker, sportsman, alderman and mayor of Albury; Stuart McKenzie Logan (1876–1948) was a man of many parts. He was best known for his timber and joinery shop on the corners of Swift, Macauley and Spencer streets. His business, Logans, was a part of the Albury streetscape for 80 years.
Born in 1876 in England, the son of Duncan MacLaurin and Eliza Mary Logan, Stuart was four when he, his parents and four siblings embarked on the ship Hydaspes on 17 July 1880, bound for Melbourne. At age 13, he took a course in carpentry at a technical college. The family moved to Albury in around 1893–94 hoping for an improvement in the health of Stuart’s mother, who suffered from asthma.
In Albury, Logan was apprenticed to Smith & Bates timber merchants, Hume Street. On completing his carpentry and joinery indenture, he started doing odd jobbing work. In February 1898, Logan entered into a partnership with Alexander Charles Frew, the son of an Albury builder. After several months of small jobs the fledgling firm secured a government contract to build a fernery at the Albury Botanic Gardens. The firm began under a tree in Young Street and later expanded to premises on the corner of Wilson and Olive streets.
Frew and Logan built houses, churches and halls far and wide. They also ran an undertaking business. At that time, the undertaking business was carried out by joiners, carpenters or furniture suppliers. In 1906, owing to a shortage of bricks, Frew and Logan also set up a machine-made brick yard in Young Street. It has been estimated that, over the life of this yard, its average output was over a million bricks per annum of all descriptions. Frew and Logan had grown at an amazing rate, employing a total of 105 staff.
Logan married a neighbour, Kate William Davidson, on 24 September 1902. Stuart and Kate’s first child, Jessie May, arrived in 1903. They went on to have three more children; Jean, Don and Ken. Meanwhile, the business continued to thrive, with the Lockhart Court House, the Corowa Post Office and a parsonage under construction.
The Frew and Logan partnership was dissolved in 1918, after which Stuart Logan continued to expand with his own company, Logans. Logans’ building contracts extended throughout the district, as far as Corryong, at a time when transport was not as simple as a truck and paved roads. The business went on to concentrate on retailing timber, hardware and plumbing supplies. Logans Timber Yard prospered on the corner of Swift and Spencer streets, Albury.
In 1918, Logan built his family residence, ‘Rothesay’, in Sackville Street, named for the Scottish town where his parents had married. Logan’s four children joined the business after finishing school; Don becoming a joiner and Ken a plumber, while Jean and Jessie worked in the office. Don’s name would appear on many of the Logan plans as designer. They continued running the business for 30 years after Logan’s death in 1948. ‘Rothesay’ remained the family residence until Jean and Jessie died and Ken Logan took up residence in the Riverwood Retirement Village.
Stuart Logan was always vitally interested in the promotion of Albury. He served on many committees in the town, spoke out on many and varied issues, was an alderman for 36 years and served as mayor in 1915. He played sport well into his sixties and was a staunch member of St David’s Presbyterian Church.
Frew and Logan, and Logans, left their marks on the built landscape of Albury and surrounding districts.

Major General John A. Logan is a public artwork by American artist Franklin Simmons, located at Logan Circle in Washington, D.C. The monument is an equestrian statue dedicated to American soldier and political leader John A. Logan.
This statue shows Logan upon his horse. In his proper left hand he holds the reins and in his proper right hand he holds a sword which is pointed downwards. Logan, wearing a long belted frock coat, boots, gloves and a hat, is shown with long hair and a long mustache. The horse strides forward with its proper right front foot raised.
The sculpture sits upon a bronze base, which itself rests upon a low stone base. Each corner of the bronze base features an American Eagle as a symbol of patriotism. The front lower portion is adorned with palm leaves, which symbolize victory, and surround the inscribed word LOGAN (which appears on both east and west sides of the base).
The bronze base features reliefs depicting historical moments in Logan's life. The west side of the bronze features Logan, dressed in a military uniform, standing with fellow officers who are meeting to discuss the Civil War. To Logan's proper right is a table with an open map on it with three officers looking at it, with one pointing to the map. Logan stands with his proper left hand on the map, looking away, while the other officers look toward him. The east side of the bronze depicts Logan standing with Vice President Chester A. Arthur. The scene shows Arthur swearing in Logan as a senator in front of a group of other senators. Logan is shown raising his proper right arm while Arthur raises his left and holds a book. The other two sides of the bronze base feature two allegorical female figures. One represents Peace and holds a laurel wreath in her proper right hand and a fasces in her proper left. Peace wears long robes and a laurel wreath on her head. The other short side shows a female representing War, holding a shield in front of her, wearing a crown-shaped helmet and a dress with armor details. In her proper right hand she holds a sword.
The bronze base was installed on April 18, 1898, the sculpture was installed on Jan 23, 1901 and dedicated on April 9, 1901. It was paid for by the government and Society for the Army of the Tennessee and cost $65,000. It was estimated that the bronze base would take one year to cast, but sculptor Franklin Simmons paid extra to have the foundry work around the clock to have it made, which took only 31⁄2 months.
The bronze base, which features a depiction of Vice President Chester A. Arthur, is historically inaccurate. When Logan was senator, Arthur was not Vice President, however, Mrs. Logan wished to have contemporary famous men shown in the panels during Logan's death, hence the appearance of Arthur.
Cranford Paving Company provided the foundation construction and placed the granite for the base. Simmons was unhappy with the first base and requested a new base be replaced in September 1897. The sculpture arrived from Rome in December 1901 and was stored at the Brooklyn pier for a month. The bronze was too large to be transported by train to Washington. Eventually the piece was placed onto a two-masted schooner and arrived in Washington on January 16, 1902.
