Thomas P. Marwick

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.

His high marks on his entrance exam to the RIBA in 1882 won the praise of both Alfred Waterhouse and Sir Horace Jones.

[4] Marwick died at home, 36 West Mayfield[5] on 26 June 1927 and is buried in Morningside Cemetery in south Edinburgh, towards the south-west, with his wife, Alexandrina Jameson Steven (d.1903).

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).
