Basic Biographical Details

Name: Kennedy & O'Donoghue
Designation:  
Born: 1867
Died: c. 1871
Bio Notes: Gustavus Hamilton O'Donoghue practised in Glasgow from c.1842. His office was at 43 Renfield Street in the early 1860s, but by 1866 he had moved to 202 Hope Street and in that year he came to London and opened an office at 4 Furnival's Inn. By the following year his London address was 1 Adam Street, Adelphi where he was in partnership with Henry Edward Kennedy of Bangor, Wales. O'Donoghue seems to have had little involvement in the Welsh projects although in 1868 Kennedy & O'Donoghue exhibited a design, probably a competition design, for Long Ashton Independent Church. The partnerhip was dissolved in 1871 after which O'Donoghue appears to have remained in London.

By 1883 when he had a smart West End address at 62 George Street, Portman Square: and by 1886 he had moved office to the City of London at 25 Liverpool Street. The nature of O'Donoghue's London practice is not yet known, as he does not figure in the 'Survey of London.' Note too that these later addresses may not appear as they seem. The trades section of the 1882 Post Office directory lists him but according to the Census Return for 1881 he was in lodgings at this address.

In early references his name is spelt O'Donnaghue, only after c1866 was the spelling O'Donaghue used.
