Basic Biographical Details

Name: Andrew & Newlands
Designation:  
Born: 1880
Died: c. 1911(?)
Bio Notes: Gabriel Andrew was born in 1851. He was a pupil of William Railton and commenced business on his own account in Kilmarnock in 1875. In 1880 he took into partnership William Newlands (born 1853), who had also served his apprenticeship with Railton before spending time working in Glasgow practices. The firm was known as Andrew & Newlands.

Newlands left the practice in 1889 due to ill health, spending several years in Cape Town and expecting never to return, but by 1895 he had recovered and had returned to Kilmarnock and to the partnership with Andrew. Around this date Gabriel became the 'retained architect ' of Johnnie Walker & Sons. The firm's work in the late 1890s and early 1900s is quite an imaginative free Baroque.

Newlands suffered another bout of ill health around 1910, retiring from practice for eighteen months, but by the beginning of 1912 he had once more recommenced business, seemingly alone. He was admitted LRIBA on 24 June of that year, his proposers being John Bennie Wilson of Glasgow, and William Cowie and James Kennedy Hunter both of Ayr.
