Basic Biographical Details

Name:	A B Miller & W G Wilson
Designation:
Born:	1880
Died:	c. 1882
Bio Notes:	William Gilmour Wilson was born in 1856 at Rothesay. In 1872 he was articled to Robert Baldie, studying at Glasgow School of Art, and after completing his apprenticeship in 1877 he was successively assistant to Alexander Adamson and John Honeyman in Glasgow, George Fowler Jones in York, Francis Mackison in Stirling (perhaps for the Callander Hydropathic project) and William Owen of Warrington. By 1880 he had set up independent practice at 134 Wellington Street, Glasgow, and in the same year he entered the competition for Liverpool School of Art in partnership with A B Miller, who then moved to Wilson's office from his previous premises at 139 St Vincent Street, their design being exhibited at the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts the following year. They exhibited again together at the Glasgow Institute in 1882, but no more is known of Miller. Wilson had been admitted ARIBA on 3 January the previous year, his proposers being Honeyman, Jones and John Burnet, Senior. The practice appears to have initially been successful despite the severity of the recession in the early 1880s, and by c.1883 Wilson had taken James B Stewart into partnership as Wilson & Stewart.
