Basic Biographical Details Name: | Hugh Campbell | Designation: | | Born: | 1863 | Died: | 19 December 1926 | Bio Notes: | Hugh Campbell was born in 1863, the son of John Campbell, railway pointsman and his wife Ann McKenzie. He was articled to H & D Barclay of Glasgow in 1878, remaining there until 1890 when he took a five-year study break. At the end of it he was engaged by the Burgh of Coatbridge under the Burgh Surveyor, Alexander McGregor Mitchell, to design the municipal buildings of that town. On completing this work he found further employment as chief assistant to Robert Alexander Bryden, with whom he remained until 1905 when he set up practice on his own account at 156 St Vincent Street.
Campbell married Mary Jane Carmichael of Kilmarnock.
Campbell was admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911, proposed by John Bennie Wilson and the Glasgow Institute of Architects. In 1919 he took George Hunter Gardner-McLean into partnership as Campbell & Gardner-McLean.
Campbell died of pneumonia at 7 Grosvenor Terrace, Hillhead on 19 December 1926. His wife had predeceased him but he was survived by his daughter. It appears that the partnership of Campbell & Gardner-McLean had been dissolved in the previous year as Gardner-McLean had seemingly entered into partnership with Alexander Gardner, who may have been a relative, at 134 Bath Street. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 2, Inglefield Terrace, Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland | Private(?) | 1896 | | | | 21, Westmoreland Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Private | 1901 * | | | | 147, Bath Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1904 * | | | | 156, St Vincent Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1905 | 1924 or 1925 | | | Coislader, Dumbreck, Glasgow, Scotland | Private | Before 1911 | After 1914 | | | 212, St Vincent Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1924 or 1925 | | | | 4, Dargavel Avenue, Dumbreck, Glasgow, Scotland | Private | 1926 * | | |
