Bio Notes: Thomas McMillan was born in 1879 and articled to Campbell Douglas & Morrison from 1892 to 1897. After the break-up of the partnership he and John Duncan MacLeod remained with Douglas as assistants. During that period he attended Glasgow School of Art. About this time McMillan spent his summer holidays on sketching tours in England and Scotland. When Douglas merged his practice with that of Alexander Nisbet Paterson in 1903 McMillan moved with him to the new partnership but shortly thereafter Douglas appears to have recommended him to his former assistant William Flockhart in London. He remained in Flockhart's office until 1907 when he moved to that of Still, Wheat & Luken, in Basinghall Street, his address when he was admitted LRIBA on 16 June 1911, his proposers being Flockhart, Paterson and George Edward Clay of Gravesend.
