J oseph Reed was born in Cornwall England on the 23 of February 1823. Joseph arrived in Melbourne in July 1853 and the next year won  the competition to design the Public Library.

 He designed many buildings in Victoria such as the State Library of Victoria, the ANZ bank in Collins Street and the Royal exhibition building the first building to be world heritage listed. He also designed a few outside of Victoria such as the bank of New South Wales. Reed has designed over 35 buildings in Australia alone and a lot remain today, some heritage listed.
