Basic Biographical Details

Name: Wilson & Thomson
Designation:  
Born: March 1862
Died: 1863
Bio Notes: Charles Wilson formed a partnership with his long-serving assistant David Thomson in March 1862. When Wilson died the following year he continued the practice which consisted thereafter principally of church, school and country house work. Later in that same year, 1863, the unrelated Charles Heath Wilson's tenure as headmaster of the Government School of Design was ended when the institution was transferred from the Board of Trade to the Department of Science and Art, and he set up business as an architect although his practice had been limited to monuments and ship interiors rather than buildings. Nevertheless he had some influential patrons and became Honorary Director of the School which thereafter became the School of Art and a trustee of the Haldane Academy. Thomson took him into partnership some time in the following year but in 1868 Wilson withdrew to live and work in Florence. (See entries on the partners for further information.)
