Basic Biographical Details

Name: Honeyman & Keppie
Designation:  
Born: Late 1888 or early 1889
Died: 1 January 1901
Bio Notes: The partnership of Honeyman & Keppie was formed late in 1888 or very early in 1889. In October 1888 James Sellars died, his senior partner Campbell Douglas then taking the practice's chief assistant into partnership. Sellars's head draughtsman John Keppie (1862-1945) was then taken into partnership by John Honeyman (1831-1914) and was allowed to take Anderson's College of medicine with him as a setting-up commission: this effectively refinanced and refounded Honeyman's practice which had been very seriously short of work in 1886-88. The partnership of Honeyman & Keppie ended with John Honeyman's retirement on 1 January 1901: Charles Rennie Mackintosh was then taken into partnership, the practice title becoming Honeyman Keppie & Mackintosh.

See separate entry for the earlier history of the practice of Honeyman & Keppie up to 1901, when it became Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh. The practice title of Honeyman & Keppie was revived in June 1914, Mackintosh having withdrawn from the partnership; John Keppie then became sole partner. See separate entry for this second phase of the title.
