Basic Biographical Details Name: | Charles Ogilvie Campbell | Designation: | | Born: | 15 October 1880 | Died: | 1932 | Bio Notes: | Charles Ogilvie Campbell was born at Wick on 15 October 1880 and articled to Robert Baillie Pratt of Elgin from April 1896 to April 1900, attending evening classes and spending his spare time measuring and sketching buildings in the vicinity including Elgin Cathedral. From there he joined the office of McArthy & Watson in Edinburgh as junior assistant, briefly returning to Elgin in 1901 for health reasons and spending a few further months assisting Pratt. In May 1902 he joined the London office of Charles Stanley Peach, but ill health again caused him to leave the city in April 1907, when he moved to Chester to work as chief draughtsman to Philip H Lockwood. He commenced practice in the same city in January 1911 with premises at 10 Godstall Chambers, later in the same year moving to 4 Seller Street. In June that year he received permission to sit for a 'special' final exam, but the burden of the additional workload brought on another bout of ill health and he was forced to abandon his studies. He was elected LRIBA on 22 April 1912, his proposers being Peach, William Thomas Lockwood and Harry Beswick. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | Wick, Caithness, Scotland | Private | 1880 | Before 1896 | Place of birth | | 4, Seppar Street, Chester, Cheshire, England | Business | 1911 | | | | 10, Godstall Chambers, Chester, Cheshire, England | Business | 1911 | 1911 | |
