Thomas Purves Marwick (1854 - 26 June 1927) was a Scottish architect based in Edinburgh operating in the late 19th and early 20th century. He specialised in buildings in the Free Renaissance and Neo-Baroque styles and is particularly important to the architectural character of the Marchmont area. ==Life== Born and educated in Edinburgh, Marwick served his architectural apprenticeship with Peddie and Kinnear. In 1882 he won the Ashpitel Prize and in 1884 won the RIBA silver medal for an essay on staircase design. His high marks on his entrance exam to the RIBA in 1882 won the praise of both Alfred Waterhouse and Sir Horace Jones.〔Dictionary of Scottish Architects: Marwick〕 He began independent practice around 1879, operating from his own home. His early work at Bruntsfield Place from 1885 was of exceptional quality and gained him a high reputation. In 1900 his office was at 43 York Place and he was living in the Grange at 43 Lauder Road.〔Edinburgh and Leith Post Office Directory 1900-1901〕 He was president of the Edinburgh Architectural Association from 1918 to 1921 and president of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland from 1922 to 1924. In 1917 he took his son, Thomas Craigie Marwick, into his firm, creating T P Marwick and Son. His grandson, Thomas Waller Marwick (b.1903 – July 1971), also became an architect and is notable for an early curtain-wall building on Bread Street in Edinburgh (1937). Marwick is buried in Morngside Cemetery in Edinburgh, towards the south-west, with his wife, Alexandrina Jameson Steven (d.1903). Other members of the Marwick family lie to his south side. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas P. Marwick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
