Basic Biographical Details

Name: Robert Little
Designation:  
Born:  
Died: 7 July 1901
Bio Notes: Robert Little was the son of William Little of Kirkcaldy and was practising in partnership with his father from an address in Cowan Street by 1882 under the title of William Little & Son, the practice being described in directories as 'architects, builders, joiners, lathsplitters, sawmillers & c.'. The Cowan Street premises were advertised for sale in 1888 but directories still list father and son in partnership at the same address in the mid-1890s; however, Robert appears also to have practised under his own name from April 1888, from his home address, Woodbank, Albert Road. Robert Little died on 7 July 1901 at Kirkcaldy.
