Basic Biographical Details Name: | Kathleen Hutton Arthur (Mrs Tebbitt) | Designation: | | Born: | 19 August 1909 | Died: | 2002 | Bio Notes: | Kathleen Hutton Arthur was born on 19 August 1909, the daughter of Airdrie and Glasgow architect John Maurice Arthur and his wife Katherine Adam Stevenson Hutton. She attended day classes at Glasgow School of Architecture from 1927 to 1932. Whilst there she toured Paris and the Touraine from April to August 1928 and sought office experience, working for Andrew Balfour from May to August 1929 and for Burnet, Tait & Lorne from June to December 1931. After obtaining her diploma in June 1932 she spent six months from October that year in the office of London architect Oliver Percy Bernard, working on the Cumberland Hotel. She passed the Professional Practice exam in December 1933 and was admitted ARIBA on 5 March 1934, her proposers being Balfour, Thomas Harold Hughes and her father. In that year she joined her father's practice of George Arthur & Son as assistant.
Kathleen later married Maxwell Clifford Tebbitt, architect to the Ministry of Health in London. She ceased practising as an architect and gave up her RIBA membership, but was briefly reinstated as a member when assisting her husband on hospital developments for the Government in Jamaica in the 1950s or early 1960s. She did not resume practice thereafter, however, and became a retired Associate in 1965.
Kathleen died in 2002 in the New Forest, Hampshire, her death being registered in August of that year. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | Glentore, Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland | Private | 1934 * | | | | London, England | Business | After 1934 | Before 196 | | | Jamaica, West Indies | Business | 1950s or early 1960s * | | |
