He was articled to George Beattie, architect and builder, and commenced practice c.1859-60 at 6 (later 10) Hanover Street, Edinburgh. He came into prominence early at the Café Royal building with its innovative French roof in 1861-62, followed by some equally innovative polychromatic Italian Gothic churches in 1863-64. About 1875 Paterson's son, Robert Paterson, Junior, became a partner: by that date Paterson Senior was City Assessor.
The elder Robert Paterson died on 5 October 1889 and was buried at Grange Cemetery. The practice was continued by his son.
NB There is a conflict of information about the termination date of this practice. Some sources suggest it finished in c.1890 but Post Office directories indicate that it continued until about 1900. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 10, Hanover Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | c. 1875 | c. 1889 | | | 39, Frederick Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | c. 1890 | 1894 | | | 33, Howe Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | c. 1895 | c. 1898 | | | 11, Brandon Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | c. 1899 | c. 1900 | |
