| Bio Notes: | Elizabeth Stevenson King was born on 12 October 1906 and studied at the Glasgow School of Architecture from 1925. After graduating BSc and passing the Professional Practice exam in 1929 she worked for a year as assistant to R A Bryden & Robertson. She then moved to Durham to spend a year as architectural assistant to the County Council there, before returning to Scotland in 1931 as a surveyor in the Department of Agriculture. She was admitted ARIBA in early 1932, her proposers being Thomas Harold Hughes, Andrew Robertson and William James Smith. She later married Lt Col G S Ghuman and moved with him to New Delhi. It would appear she was still practising in New Delhi in 1971 as she remained a paid-up member of the RIBA. She remained a member until at least 1994. |
