Basic Biographical Details

Name: Habershon & Pite
Designation:  
Born: After 1863
Died: After 1877
Bio Notes: This practice was formed after the dissolution of the practice of E & W G Habershon in 1862. William Gilbee took into partnership his former pupil, Alfred Robert Pite, born in 1832. Pite had left to gain experience in the office of Philip Charles Hardwick in 1851 and had emigrated to Brazil as architect to the Don Pedro Railway, 1856. He was admitted FRIBA on 5 December 1864 (proposers missing). Pite (father of William Alfred Pite and Arthur Beresford Pite) retired in 1877 at the early age of 45 (he died on 15 February 1911) and William Glbee Habershon continued the practice with James Follet Fawckner who had been a partner since 1870, although his name did not appear in the firm's title at that time. Details of Fawckner are lacking as he never joined the RIBA but he had probably been a senior assistant.
