Basic Biographical Details Name: | Malcolm & Robertson (or Robertson & Malcolm) | Designation: | | Born: | Before 1911 | Died: | Before 1913 | Bio Notes: | Alexander Nisbet Malcolm was born on 6 October 1877 at Polmont and articled to Clarke & Bell in Glasgow from 1897 to 1902, studying at Glasgow School of Art (1897 to 1901). After completing his apprenticeship he made a three-week sketching tour in Belgium in July 1902 and returned to Clarke & Bell as assistant. He took three-and-half months off to tour the USA and Canada from May to August 1904, becoming principal assistant after his return. He finally left the firm, by then Clarke & Bell & J H Craigie, in April 1908 to commence independent practice at Charing Cross, Grangemouth.
He was admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911, proposed by John Bennie Wilson and the Glasgow Institute of Architects. At that time he was working in partnership with an as yet unidentified Mr Robertson, and before that time he had written a paper on cities in Belgium and papers entitled 'Housing of the Working Classes' and 'Torphichen Priory'.
The partnership with Robertson was presumably dissolved prior to 1913, by which time Malcolm had moved his office to Vicar Chambers, Falkirk. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | Stirlingshire, Scotland(?) | Business | | | | | Charing Cross, Grangemouth, Stirlingshire, Scotland | Business | 1911 * | | | | Polmont, Stirlingshire, Scotland | Business | 1911 * | | |
