Thomas Brown (architect)

Thomas Brown (1781 – 5 June 1850) was a Scottish architect in the early 19th century based in Edinburgh.

In February 1819 he received the prestigious appointment of Superintendent of the City Works in Edinburgh.

This was during the city's major expansion to the north to create its New Town, and placed Brown on the then large salary of £250 per annum.

In the 1830s his address was listed as 6 Argyle Square (demolished in the 1860s to create Chambers Street),[2] He retired in 1847 on a pension of £150 per annum.

The grave lies on the north–south path leading from the south-west corner of the church to the Covenanters Prison.
