"Greek" Thomson's Teacher: John Baird I

A talk on the architect John Baird (ca 1795-1859), who took on the young Alexander Thomson as an apprentice.
About this Event

John Baird, the Ayrshire-born but Glasgow-based architect worked inside and beyond Glasgow in a range of styles, from classical churches to Jacobethan houses. Only a combination of circumstances meant that he lost out on responsibility for the new Glasgow University buildings. Even late in life he was still producing innovative architecture, such as the Jamaica Street warehouse.

The talk will be delivered by Dominic d'Angelo; the chair of the Alexander Thomson Society.
