Old Photograph Liberal Club Alloa Scotland
Old photograph of the Liberal Club on Mar Street in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. John Melvin Senior was the architect of this building. He was born in Alloa in 1805 the second son of John Melvin. He commenced his career as a joiner in the family business but moved to Edinburgh where he went through a course of study and practice of architecture and in 1826 returned to his native town and began business as master joiner and architect, as he frequently combined the two by drawing the plans of a house, and alterations and repairs, and executing the joiner work as well. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
