Basic Biographical Details Name: | Allan Stevenson, Mair & Cassels | Designation: | Architectural practice | Started: | April 1927 | Ended: | 1 August 1929 | Bio Notes: | Allan Stevenson, Mair & Cassels was a short-lived partnership based in Ayr, formed in April 1927 when Thomas McGill Cassels merged his practice of Allan Stevenson & Cassels with that of Alexander Mair, a former apprentice of Stevenson's. Mair demerged his clientele in 1929, probably because he had received the major commission for Ayr County Buildings and was now attracting much more business than Cassels, particularly from dairies. Cassels continued the practice alone, reverting its name to Allan Stevenson & Cassels, until 1945 when it was taken over by Duncan McCulloch. He remained sole partner of his practice from the split in 1929 until his death in 1944. The archive of Allan Stevenson, Mair & Cassels stayed with Allan Stevenson & Cassels after the split, and was subsequently passed to Duncan McCulloch and then to E A Darley - who formed the Darley Hay partnership - when they successively took over the firm in later years. The Darley Hay archive was transferred to Ayrshire Archives in 2007 after the Darley Hay frim merged with Carricks to become Carricks Darley Hay.
