ROBINSON & DAVIDSON
- Born: - Died: -
Architectural partnership of Derry City, formed in 1909 between JAMES MOORE CALDWELL ROBINSON , brother of MATTHEW ALEXANDER ROBINSON and JOHN ADAM DAVIDSON . The partnership continued until Robinson's death in 1924, after which the practice was carried on by Davidson until at least 1950. As recorded in the Irish Builder, much of Robinson & Davidson's work was for Presbyterian churches and for local authorities. The partners replaced Matthew Alexander Robinson as architects to Derry No. 1 Rural District Council in 1909.(1) The practice designed labourers' housing schemes for Dungannon and Cookstown Urban District Councils in 1920(2) and for Derry Rural District Council from 1927 until 1949 or later.(3)
Address: 3 Richmond Street, Derry, 1909->=1950.
