Basic Biographical Details

Name: Keppie & Henderson
Designation:  
Born: January 1916
Died:  
Bio Notes: The partnership of Honeyman and 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.

The practice title of Honeyman & Keppie was revived in June 1914, Mackintosh having withdrawn from the partnership; John Keppie then became sole partner. This second phase of the title lasted until January 1916 when Andrew Graham Henderson was taken into partnership, the practice title then becoming John Keppie & Henderson, later shortened to Keppie Henderson. Henderson was at first only nominally a partner, and did not re-enter the office until the end of the First World War.

See separate entries for partners for further information.
