| Bio Notes: | William Patterson was born in 1872 and articled to MacGibbon & Ross in 1893 at the age of twenty-one, rather older than usual. Whilst serving his apprenticeship he attended the School of Applied Art under Frank Worthington Simon and Stewart Henbest Capper. On leaving MacGibbon & Ross in 1897 he was an assistant with first James Pearson Alison in Hawick and then Hippolyte Jean Blanc in Edinburgh before moving to London to work for Aston Webb. About 1903 he moved to Liverpool to work for Willink & Thicknesse, and from there he obtained a salaried post in H M Office of Works in London, working under Walter Pott. He was admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911, his proposers being Aston Webb, Philip Coldwell Thicknesse and Walter Pott. He should not be confused with William Paterson, later of Oldrieve Bell & Paterson who was also on the staff of the Office of Works, their service overlapping in the years 1910-1914; or with William Patterson of Edinburgh, of whom very little is known. |
