Basic Biographical Details

Bio Notes: Robert Russell Prentice was born in Fife in 1883 and educated at Highgate School. He served his articles under George Washington Browne in the firm of Peddie & Washington Browne, Edinburgh, subsequently studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris for two years before moving to London in 1907 to join the staff of Mewes & Davis.

In 1910 he emigrated to Buenos Aires where he entered the office of M L Fauré Dujarric, who took him into partnership the following year. The partnership was short-lived, Prentice returning to Britain on the outbreak of war in 1914 to serve as a technical officer in the RFC and RAF. In 1919 Prentice returned to Buenos Aires to commence independent practice. He was elected FRIBA in early 1925, by which time he was practising in Rio de Janeiro, and at some point he took A Spandi into partnership. His principal buildings in South America included the British Embassy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rio, the Central Cordoba Railway Station in Buenos Aires, and offices for the Sud-America Insurance Company in both cities.

Prentice retired to Eastbourne in 1952 and died on 28 September 1960.
