Basic Biographical Details Name: | Stephen Sutherland | Designation: | | Born: | 30 March 1906 | Died: | 3 March 1963 | Bio Notes: | Stephen Sutherland was born on 30 March 1906, the son of JAmes Barron Stephen Sutherland, farmer and his wife, Isabella Taylor. He studied full-time at Aberdeen School of Architecture from September 1921 to June 1923. In September of the latter year he commenced a three-year apprenticeship to Arthur Hay Livingstone Mackinnon, remaining as assistant until March 1927. In May 1927 he left to spend three months in the office of Robert Robb Gall. The following month he obtained his diploma. Nothing is known of his whereabouts between then and June 1929 when he took the professional practice exam in London. In August of the latter year he moved to London to join H M Office of Works, and he passed the professional practice exam that December. He joined the LCC Architects' Department in May 1930, left for unknown reasons in November 1931, but returned in November 1933 and was still there when he was admitted ARIBA on 4 April 1938, his proposers being R Leslie Rollo, Edwin Paul Wheeler and Edwin George Goodson Bax. Rollo's supporting statement suggests that the gaps in Sutherland's career may be explained by ill-health, as he writes that he was 'unable to attend the School [Aberdeen School of Architecture] in 1927 and 1928'.
Sutherland died aged 56 at his home, East Lodge, Mortonhall Estate, survived by his wife, Agnes Suttie Smith. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 5, Hornsey Lane Gardens, Highgate, London, England | Private | 1938 * | | | | East Lodge, Morton Hall, Liberton, Edinbugh, Scotland | Private | 1950 * | 1963 | |
