Basic Biographical Details

Name: Patrick McNeil
Designation:  
Born:  
Died: January 1983
Bio Notes: Patrick McNeil was born and brought up in Dollar but moved to Glasgow to attend Glasgow School of Architecture from September 1921. From May of the following year he worked in the office of James Miller (presumably working part-time whilst attending the School of Architecture and serving his articles) and remained there for three and a half years. He passed the qualifying exam and was admitted ARIBA on 5 December 1927, his proposers being Thomas Harold Hughes, John Watson and James Miller. By that date he appears to have been working in London (the witness to his declaration on the ARIBA paper was J Wilson of Streatham Common) and in the 1930-1931 RIBA Kalendar has a London address. In 1938 he was an assistant to William Kerr, perhaps on a temporary basis, in the practice of John Melvin & Son when the firm built a house for his parents, on which he assisted.

Patrick McNeil died in January 1983. At that time he was living at Flat 13, Royston Court, Lichfield Road, Kew, Surrey.
