Basic Biographical Details Name: | Sutherland & Pirie | Designation: | | Born: | 1902 | Died: | 1907 | Bio Notes: | George Sutherland was born in 1861 and was articled to Pirie & Clyne of Aberdeen in 1878 but transferred to Ellis & Wilson before completing his apprenticeship. He then moved to Glasgow where he served as draughtsman to an unspecified firm before commencing practice on his own account in Banff in 1884. By 1890 he had moved to 51 High Street, Elgin, where he was elected to the School Board and designed the towered H H Richardson-Romanesque Victoria School of Science and Art, evidently only one of several commissions as Honeyman had seen 'some creditable buildings' designed by him prior to 1894. At that date he had also received a commission for a mission hall in Aberdeen. Sutherland sat the qualifying exam in Glasgow in March 1894 and immediately sought admission as ARIBA, his proposers being John Honeyman, Arthur Cates and Lacy William Ridge. In his application he acknowledged his lack of travel abroad but stated that he had spent a good deal of time measuring Elgin Cathedral, Pluscarden Priory, 'some old Scotch castles' and 'old buildings in Aberdeen': He was admitted on 11 June of the same year. He entered into partnership with Louis Harper of Aberdeen at the beginning of 1896. When in partnership with Harper, Sutherland's one major commission was a large block in Bridge Street, the remainder being speculative housing, some of it for himself.
About 1899 or 1900 Harper withdrew from the partnership. Sutherland continued as sole practitioner through 1900 and 1901 but at the beginning of 1902 he entered into partnership with James M Pirie as Sutherland & Pirie. Pirie's relationship, if any, to John Bridgeford Pirie and his son Bridgeford MacDougall Pirie is unknown but he had commenced practice c.1899 or 1900, and had designed a couple of substantial houses by the time of the partnership.
The partnership with Pirie ended in 1907 when Sutherland went into partnership with Clement George . | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | ![Item 1 of 2](images/table_item.gif) | Aberdeen, Scotland | Business | | | | ![Item 2 of 2](images/table_item.gif) | 40, Union Terrace, Aberdeen, Scotland | Business | 1902 | | |
