Basic Biographical Details

Name:	Campbell & Gardner-McLean
Designation:
Born:	1919
Died:	1925(?)
Bio Notes:	Hugh Campbell was born in 1863, the son of John Campbell, railway pointsman and his wife Ann McKenzie. He was articled to H & D Barclay of Glasgow in 1878, remaining there until 1890 when he took a five-year study break. At the end of it he was engaged by the Burgh of Coatbridge under the Burgh Surveyor, Alexander McGregor Mitchell, to design the municipal buildings of that town. On completing this work he found further employment as chief assistant to Robert Alexander Bryden, with whom he remained until 1905 when he set up practice on his own account at 156 St Vincent Street. He was admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911, proposed by John Bennie Wilson and the Glasgow Institute of Architects. Not long after the end of the First World War he took George Hunter Gardner-McLean into partnership as Campbell & Gardner-McLean. Gardner-McLean had been born in Glasgow on 18 November 1885, the son of John Gardner McLean, solicitor and Lorenza Hamlin Hunter (subsequently Henry). He had been educated in Londonderry and at Hutcheson's School for Boys in Glasgow, and had begun his architectural training in 1900, serving a five-year apprenticeship with an unspecified firm and studying at the Glasgow School of Art and Royal Technical College. After completing his apprenticeship he had worked in the office of John James Burnet for two years, and from 1912 to 1915 had been an assistant in the Public Works Department, Glasgow. From 1915 to 1918 he had served in the First World War as a Captain with the Royal Engineers and had been wounded and mentioned in dispatches. Gardner-McLean served in the Territorial Army after the war and was promoted Major in 1921. Campbell died of pneumonia at 7 Grosvenor Terrace, Hillhead on 19 December 1926. It appears that the partnership of Campbell & Gardner-McLean had been dissolved in the previous year as Gardner-McLean had seemingly entered into partnership with Alexander Gardner, who may have been a relative, at 134 Bath Street.
