Old Photograph Quarry Brae School Parkhead Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of Quarry Brae School in Parkhead, Glasgow, Scotland. This Scottish school was designed by Ninian Macwhannell and John Rogerson. It was opened on Tuesday, 16 August, 1904, in Baird Street, now called Crail Street. Ninian Macwhannell was born in Hutchesontown on 15 October 1860, son of John Macwhannell, Treasurer and later Secretary of the Glasgow School Board, and Elizabeth Parker. He was educated at Glasgow High School and was articled to Alexander Petrie in 1877, remaining as assistant until 1884 and latterly studying at Glasgow School of Art from 1881 to 1884. His partner John Rogerson was born about 1862, the son of Provost David Rogerson of Dumbarton and Mary Roy, and was principally responsible for the designs of the partnership. Macwhannell died at 1366 Pollokshaws Road on 23 December 1939.
