Basic Biographical Details Name: | Alexander Walker Money | Designation: | | Born: | 7 July 1878 | Died: | | Bio Notes: | Alexander Walker Money (sometimes mistakenly given in sources as J W Money) was born at 199 Govan Road on 7 July 1878, the son of James Money, blacksmith and his wife Jane Walker. His elder brother James (born 18 July 1875), who had commenced independent practice in Glasgow in 1899 after training and assisting in the offices of David Valentine Wyllie and William Forsyth McGibbon in Glasgow and of the cabinetmaking firm Messrs James Ogilvie of Aberdeen, had taken him into partnership by 1904 as J & A W Money, their office being at 212 Hope Street.
The office had moved to 131 West Regent Street by 1912 when James was admitted LRIBA, and the firm developed into a large tenement and industrial practice. Alexander Walker Money appears to have died or emigrated c.1914, by which time James had withdrawn the office from the city centre to 60 Hill Street, Maryhill, probably as a result of the severe recession following the Finance Act of 1909. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 212, Hope Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1904 * | | | | 131, West Regent Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | Before 1909 | c. 1914 | |
