Basic Biographical Details Name: | Seymour & Kinross | Designation: | | Born: | 1882 | Died: | 1889 | Bio Notes: | Henry Seymour practised from 20 George Street, Edinburgh. In 1882 he took John Kinross into partnership. Kinross had been born at Shore Road, Stirling, on 3 July 1855, the second son of William Kinross (1810-74), the owner of a sizeable and successful carriage-building firm, William Kinross and Sons in Stirling, and his second wife, Ann Marshall (1821-99). He had attended Stirling High School between 1865 and 1870, and had been articled to John Hutchison of Glasgow. In 1875 he had moved to the Edinburgh office of Wardrop & Reid, where he had worked on a range of quality country house, ecclesiastical and British Linen Bank branch projects. Between the winter of 1880 and the spring of 1881, he had undertaken an architectural study tour of Italy, producing on his return the folio volume, 'Details from Italian Buildings Chiefly Renaissance', published by George Waterston & Sons in 1882.
The quality of the work of the Seymour & Kinross partnership indicates that Seymour assumed a lower profile throughout. The partnership was dissolved in 1889 when Kinross became a sole practitioner with an office in Howe Street, from which he secured the patronage which brought his career to its height. No independent work by Seymour is yet known. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 20, George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | 1882 | 1889 | |
