Old photograph of the Younger Hall in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. This building was designed by British architect, Paul Waterhouse, born 29th of October 1861, died 19th of December 1924. He was the son and business partner of Alfred Waterhouse, an architect who designed many well-known buildings in England and had been President of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Paul was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, obtaining his MA in 1887. He joined his father's practice and became a partner in 1891, taking over the practice in 1905 and continuing his father's commitment to working on large business and public buildings. His own simpler and more classical style was demonstrated in his work for St Andrew's University in Scotland, the University Union, St Regulus Club and the Younger Hall.
