Basic Biographical Details | Name: | Cunningham & Audsley | | Designation: | | | Born: | c. 1860 | | Died: | 1863 | | Bio Notes: | John Cunningham was born in Leitholm in 1799 and articled to Thomas Brown, Superintendent of Works in Edinburgh from 1819. In 1829 he designed the County Hall, Hotel and manse at Greenlaw, Berwickshire but in 1833 he emigrated to New York. He appears to have returned to Edinburgh by the following year as an obituary in the Liverpool Daily Courier states that he was invited 'to leave Edinburgh and come to Liverpool by ... Samuel Holme', a prominent Liverpool builder and politician who was an enthusiast for Greek architecture and entered into partnership with Holme's younger brother, Arthur Hill Holme (1814-57), a partnership which was dissolved in 1840.
Around 1860 he formed a brief partnership with George Ashdown Audsley from A & W Reid's Elgin office but this was dissolved when Audsley set up practice on his own account still in Liverpool in 1863, in partnership with his brother William James Audsley. | Private and Business Addresses| The following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes |  | Liverpool, England | Business | | | |
