Basic Biographical Details Name: | John Dall | Designation: | | Born: | 1866 | Died: | | Bio Notes: | John Dall was born in 1866 and articled to John Russell Walker of Edinburgh from 1881 to 1886. In the latter year he moved to Glasgow as junior assistant to John Bennie Wilson, leaving him in 1890 to seek wider experience with Seward & Thomas in Cardiff. He returned to Edinburgh in 1897 to work for James Bow Dunn of Dunn & Findlay, and during his time there spent periods travelling in Belgium and Holland (in 1899 and 1900) in the hope of establishing suitable credentials for practice. With James Alexander Arnott he entered the competition for the Infectious Diseases Hospital in 1899. He was elected LRIBA on 20 March 1911, his proposers being Dunn and Henry Francis Kerr; at that time he was still working for Dunn, whose partnership with Findlay had been dissolved in 1903. Dall had opened an office at 45 Hanover Street by 1911, but by 1914 was practising from his house at 179 Gilmore Place which indicates that his practice had not then prospered. His known works are both post-war. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 45, Hanover Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | 1911 * | | | | 179, Gilmore Place, Edinburgh, Scotland | Private | Before 1911 | After 1914 | |
