Robert Russell (architect)
Robert Russell (13 February 1808 – 10 April 1900) was an architect and surveyor, active in Australia. He is credited with conducting the first survey of the city of Melbourne in 1836 and determining its unique design (known as the Hoddle Grid). In 1969, the Victorian chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects named their St. Kilda Road property 'Robert Russell House' in recognition of his work. He was also a prolific and talented artist and his work is held by major libraries and galleries in Australia.
==Early life==
Russell was born near Kennington Common, London, England, the son of Robert Russell, a merchant, and his wife Margaret, ''née'' Leslie. After a 'sound education',〔 Russell 'had his first business experience' in Edinburgh in 1823 where he was articled to the architect and surveyor William Burn.〔 After some time in London, where he worked in the office of John Nash, Russell moved to Drogheda, Ireland to work on the ordnance survey.〔 This experience gave Russell 'a preference for surveying, as allowing greater leisure' and his 'curiosity about Australia led to his emigration'.〔
