Basic Biographical Details Name: | (Sir) Thomas Newenham Deane & Son | Designation: | | Born: | 1884 | Died: | 1899 | Bio Notes: | Sir Thomas Newenham Deane was born at Cork on 15 June 1828, the son of Thomas (later Sir Thomas) Deane, architect. He was educated at Trinity College Dublin and joined his father's practice in 1850. He must have had a practical apprenticeship in parallel as he and Benjamin Woodward were taken into partnership in 1851, the practice name becoming Deane, Son & Woodward, quickly shortened to Deane & Woodward, after the elder Deane withdrew from an active role in the practice.
Deane & Woodward were closely linked to Ruskin and his circle in Oxford and were the leading exponents of Ruskinian Gothic until Woodward's death in 1861. Deane retained the Oxford connection into the 1870s but thereafter his practice was mainly Dublin-based. In the mid-1860s his son Thomas Manly Deane entered his office as an apprentice. Thomas Manly was born in Ferney, Lochgoilhead, Argyll on 8 June 1851, and educated at Holyville Park School, Monkstown and Trinity College, Dublin. He completed his articles with William Burges in London where he also worked in the studio of Fred Weekes and at the Slade School. He travelled in France in 1875 and the following year won an RA travelling studentship, which enabled him to be in Italy until 1878 when he returned to his father's office. He was taken into partnership in 1884, the practice title becoming Thomas Newenham Deane & Son, and Sir Thomas Newenham Deane & Son after his knighthood in 1890.
Deane remained in practice up to the time of his death at 3 Upper Merrion Street, Dublin on 8 November 1899. His son then formed a new partnership with Sir Aston Webb. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 3, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin, Eire | Business | | 1900 | | | 15, Ely Place, Dublin, Eire | | April 1900 | | |
