Architect, of Belfast. At the final meeting of the 1875-76 session of the Belfast Architectural Association, Johnston was awarded the first prize in the first class, the second prize in the sixth class, a prize in the eighth class and the Vere Foster prize. However his copy of an etching of Waterhouse's Manchester Town Hall which won him the prize donated by Sir CHARLES LANYON CHARLES LANYON for the best pupil's copy of an architectural drawing was criticised as careless by the correspondent of the Irish Builder when it was exhibited at the Belfast Industrial Exhibition in 1876.
Johnston was practising from 28 Waring Street, Belfast, in 1890, when he exhibited drawings for a house called Redcot, at Knock, Belfast, and for a row of houses at Ballynafeigh, Belfast, at the Royal Hibernian Academy. He is probably the 'F. McJohnston' whose design for a house at Holywood, Co. Down, is noted in The Architect, 1888
Address: 28 Waring Street, Belfast, 1890.
