Designation:  
Born: 1913
Died: Early 1914
Bio Notes: George Colvill Nairne was born in Inverness on 14 November 1884, the son of David Nairne, sub-editor of the 'Northern Chronicle'. He was articled to the Inverness architect John Squair, taking classes at the local technical college, and at the end of his apprenticeship took a job in Cardiff. He emigrated in 1906 to New York where he found employment with Alexander Mackintosh, who had been born in London but trained and commenced his career in Scotland. In 1909 Nairne moved to Seattle to work for Blackwell & Baker and in 1911 to Vancouver as assistant to Thomas Hooper.

In 1913 Nairne entered into a partnership with John MacMillan in Nanaimo but it was dissolved because of the difficult economic conditions then prevailing early in the following year. The official title of their practice has not been established but is assumed to have been MacMillan & Nairne.
