[1] Beatrice Hutton did not undertake any formal architectural education, but began her training in Rockhampton firstly, in her father's surveying office.

"[1] It is not yet clear what constituted her contribution to the work of Hockings and Palmer, however, several wide verandahed houses in Rockhampton have been attributed to Hutton's early career, such as the now heritage-listed Rudd Residence.

[1] Her career progressed following her move to Sydney in late 1916, where her work focussed mainly on residential projects, as well as the New South Wales Masonic Club building (1927) and Sirius House in Macquarie Place.

[3] In 1933, Hutton's career was cut short, due to her father's failing health, when she moved back to Rockhampton to care for him and her aging mother.

After her father died, Hutton moved to Brisbane with her mother in 1936 and opened an art studio in the Colonial Mutual Life Building in Queen Street where she exhibited and sold her wood carvings.
