Basic Biographical Details

Name: Todd & Miller
Designation:  
Born: 1914
Died: December 1919
Bio Notes: William James Walker Todd (born February 1884) was joined in partnership by Sydney Houghton Miller (born May 1884) in 1914, working from an office at 19 Young Street, Edinburgh. The two had worked on designs together before that date but these appear to have been in collaboration rather than in partnership. What should have been the partnership's major work, St David's Church at Dundee, was never realised despite a reduction in the design. The practice closed in 1915 when the partners were called up: Walker Todd served in France with the Royal Scots, reaching the rank of Captain.

In January 1920 the partners merged their practice with that of John More Dick Peddie (born 1853) as J M Dick Peddie & W J Walker Todd.

(See separate entries on J M Dick Peddie & W J Walker Todd and on the individual partners for later practice history.)
