William Priestly MacIntosh (1857 – 9 January 1930) was a sculptor in Sydney, Australia. His works often decorated significant public buildings in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and major provincial centres. Many of them are now heritage-listed. MacIntosh was born near Ayr in Scotland in 1857 and died in Sydney in 1930.[1] Before immigrating to New South Wales in 1880, he studied anatomy and sculpture in Edinburgh.[2] By 1896 MacIntosh was "executing every kind of sculpture", working from a yard in Hereford Street, Forest Lodge.[3] He was still actively working at the time of his death at his residence and studio in Kogarah.[2] Works{{multiple image| title = Queen Victoria Building statuary groups | align = right | direction = horizontal | header_align = center | header = |image1 = MacIntosh - "Guardian Genius of the City".jpg | width1 = 215 | alt1 = | caption1 = Guardian Genius of the City above George St. entrance (QVB) |image2 = MacIntosh - "The Genius of Civilisation".jpg | width2 = 215 | alt2 = | caption2 = Guardian Genius of Civilisation above York St. entrance (QVB){{Quote box |width = 39em |border = 1px |align = right |fontsize = 80% |salign = right |quote = Description of George Street group Standing upon a raised pedestal in the centre is a female figure lightly draped in flowing robes, representing the "Guardian Genius of the City", with the symbol of Wisdom in one hand and Justice in the other.
