Basic Biographical Details Name: | David Stark Reid Waugh | Designation: | | Born: | 10 January 1906 | Died: | 11 June 2002 | Bio Notes: | David Stark Reid Waugh was born on 10 January 1906, the son of George Waugh, minister of the Church of Scotland, and his wife Jane Hogg. He was articled to John Burnet, Son & Dick on 1 September 1924, studying at the Glasgow School of Architecture. He travelled in Normandy from 19 August to 10 September 1928 and received his diploma on 10 June the following year, entitling him to an exemption from the RIBA final examinations. He passed the professional practice exam on 9 July 1929 in Edinburgh, and was admitted ARIBA at the end of that year, his proposers being Norman Aitken Dick, James Miller and John Watson. At that time he was still working for the Burnet, Son & Dick firm, where he had remained as a draughtsman after completing his apprenticeship.
He later taught at the Glasgow School of Architecture, and in 1938 entered into partnership with Thomas Harold Hughes, who had been teaching there since 1922 and for whom he had been working as an assistant. Ill health forced Hughes to retire from the partnership in 1942 but the Hughes & Waugh name appears to have remained in use until at least the time of Hughes's death in 1949. By 1957 Waugh was working as D S Waugh & Associates.
He resigned his RIBA membership at the end of 1970. He died on 11 June 2002 at Ferryfield House, Pilton Drive, Edinburgh. His wife Evelyn Frances Fell or Taylor had predeceased him but he was survived by his son. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 1, Maitland Avenue, Langside, Glasgow, Scotland | Private | 1929 * | | | | Douglas Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1938(?) * | | | | 12, Tynwald Avenue, Burnside, Lanarkshire, Scotland | Business | 1939 * | | | | 206, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1949(?) | | | | 217, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | After 1949 | | | | 44, Northumberland Street, Edinburgh, Scotland | Business | After 1949 | | |
