Basic Biographical Details

Name: David Bateman Hutton
Designation:  
Born: 29 April 1880(?)
Died: 25 February 1959
Bio Notes: David Bateman Hutton was born at Hill Street, Kirkcaldy on 29 April 1880, the son of Robert Bateman Hutton 'mercantile clerk or consulting engineer' and his wife Isabella Bain. He commenced his apprenticeship with David Woodburn Sturrock of Glasgow in 1895, moving to the office of Robert Miller in 1898 and studying at the Glasgow School of Art and at the Glasgow & West of Scotland Technical College under Charles Gourlay. He stayed with Miller until 1901, by which time the firm had become Miller & Black, and thereafter spent two years with Neil Campbell Duff. In 1903 he became an assistant to James Miller, remaining there until he passed the qualifying exam, and was admitted ARIBA on 3 December 1906, his proposers being James Miller, William Leiper and James Milne Monro. His travels prior to that date appear to have been limited to Paris and its environs. In the same year he set up practice at 212 Bath Street with Thomas Lumsden Taylor. He was elected FRIBA in 1915, proposed by James and Robert Miller and John Watson. At that date he had held the position of chief lecturer in Building Construction at Glasgow High School.

Hutton continued the practice alone after Taylor's retirement through ill health in 1943. Hutton was unmarried. He died of cancer of the stomach at 1 Claremont Terrace, Glasgow, on 25 February 1959, his usual residence at that date being 21 Botanic Crescent.
