Basic Biographical Details

Name: George Gordon & Co
Designation:  
Born: c. 1898
Died:  
Bio Notes: Nothing is known of the training of George Gordon who commenced practice in Elgin c.1885 as a partner in the firm of MacBey & Gordon, architects and civil engineers. Within a few years the practice became Gordon & MacBey, presumably reflecting the death or retiral of the original MacBey and a younger one being taken into partnership. The practice subsequently moved to Inverness.

The Inverness office was run by Alexander Grant who had been an apprentice in Elgin. George Gordon retired to Edinburgh where he died in 1906. The name changed again in the later 1890s to George Gordon & Co, presumably after the death or retirement of the second MacBey. Gordon's firm continued (run by Gordon’s son Alexander William Robert Gordon) in partnership with Grant. It continued at least until the late 1950s when Gordon Gunn was senior partner.
