Walter Underwood & Partners

Walter Underwood & Partners were a Glasgow-based firm of architects that operated from 1960 to 1991.

History


Walter Underwood & Partners was formed in May 1960 by Walter Underwood after leaving Wylie, Shanks & Underwood with colleagues Michael Beale and T George Low. In 1964, three further colleagues were made partners; David J Leslie, James M Paton and William McLean. Peter Williams remained with Wyllie Shanks Architects although continued to do work for both practices.
