Basic Biographical Details

Name: Gibson & Love
Designation:  
Born: Before 1934
Died: After 1939
Bio Notes: William John Smith Gibson was born on 7 June 1870, the son of John Edward Gibson, ironfounder and his wife Harriette Hicks. He appears to have been articled to Burnet Son & Campbell as his address was c/o that firm at 167 St Vincent Street, Glasgow in 1889-91 when studying at Glasgow School of Art. He also attended classes at the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College. In 1904-5 he designed his own house - Hatherley, Arnothill, Falkirk - an Arts and Crafts design of some interest; as he had not completed his course it was executed by Thomas M Copland, who appears to have had a hand in its design as the fireplace details reappear in other Falkirk houses designed by Copland.

Gibson was Falkirk Burgh Engineer in the 1930s. He worked in partnership with Robert Love in Glasgow from early the same decade. Love had been born c.1888 and had studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1906 to 1909, but no further details are known of his training or early career.

Gibson died at Shrewton, Wiltshire; the date of his death is as yet unknown.
