Administrative history

The Architectural Craftsmen's Society was established in 1896 for architecture and building students. Its object was the mutual improvement of members in all matters relating to architecture and building by the reading and discussion of papers on appropriate subjects, the visiting of buildings and the exhibition of members' sketches and drawings. In 1957, it changed its name to the Architecture and Building Society.
