Basic Biographical Details Name: | John Robert Moore | Designation: | | Born: | | Died: | | Bio Notes: | John Robert Moore was articled to C Ower & Co of Dundee from 1914 to 1917. He presumably undertook two years' war service before completing his apprenticeship with William Bruce Dickie Keith of Dundee in 1919-20. Throughout his apprenticeship he studied at Dundee Technical College under Patrick Hill Thoms. He remained as assistant to Keith but moved to London thereafter where he assisted Vincent Harris, the Australian Government, Simpson & Ayrton and the Metropolitan Railway. Whilst in London he studied at the Architectural Association Schools for one term in 1923, and took evening classes in design at Brixton School of Building in 1924 and at the Polytechnic School of Architecture, Regent Street in 1925. In the latter year he was Bossom Gold Medallist at the Regent Street Polytechnic.
He passed the qualifying exam in December 1925 and was admitted ARIBA on 29 March 1926, his proposers being John Donald Mills, Thomas Martin Cappon, and Patrick Hill Thoms, who described him in his supporting statement as 'a diligent and successful student'. At that time he was still working in the Architect's Department of the Metropolitan Railway, and was living at 13 Acland Road, Willesden Green.
Subsequently Moore became architect to Brierley Urban District Council in Staffordshire. However he would appear to have moved back south and was in Middlesex in 1954-55. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 13, Acland Road, Willesden Green, London, England | Private | 1926 * | | | | 23, Treve Avenue, Harrow, Middlesex, England | Private | c. 1955 | | |
