Basic Biographical Details

Bio Notes: Robert Hall was born in Bowden Roxburghshire on 11 June 1802, the son of Thomas Douglas Hall, mason and Agnes Stirling and became a builder in Galashiels and founder of the dynasty of Halls. He was joined by his brother John who appears to have had some kind of training in architecture or at least an inclination to be more involved in desiging buildings and the firm became Robert Hall & Co. Andrew Murray was taken into partnership at some point. Robert's sons Thomas and Robert Hall were also involved in their father's buisness, but the practice title changed to J & J Hall after John's son, also John, was taken into the firm in or before 1884.
