Early in the 1830s either he or his son, Thomas Brown II, worked for William Adam at Blair Adam in Kinross-shire where he designed the Memorial (1833) and various gates and lodges. Temple Church, Midlothian was built in 1832 to the designs presumably of the elder Brown and the younger one altered Carrington Church, Midlothian in 1836.
