Dictionary of Irish Architects 1720 - 1940

Architect, probably of Galway, active in the 1830s. On 12 March 1837 Timothy Murray of Galway wrote to Martin Blake, MP for Galway, recommending that his friend 'John Semple, the architect' should be chosen to design a store which Blake was building in the town. Semple had already supplied Blake with a drawing for the building.(1) Possibly the same John Semple who was a building contractor in Galway in the early 1860s.
