Thomas Munro & Co
Architectural practice
Before (Year)
1970
Date Not Known
The practice was established initally by Thomas Munro in 1898. At his death in 1930 his cousin John Munro moved to Inverness by 1939 to take over the practice. He ran the practice until Thomas Munro's son, Ian, and his wife Joan, took over the practice in 1948. Joan Munro, who was trained as both architect and town planner, left the practice in 1952 to start a family and was replaced as partner by John H Chitty. However she had returned to the practice by 1970. Chitty remained with the firm until 1984. In 1981 Ian's son, Colin, joined the practice and was taken into partnership in 1984. It is as yet unclear when the practice name became Thomas Munro & Co. but certainly before 1970.
