Title
Daniel Macandrew
Description
A photographic portrait of Aberdeen builder and architect Daniel Macandrew (1827-1899). This image is sourced from <i>In Memoriam: An Obituary of Aberdeen and Vicinity for the Year 1899 with Biographical Notes and Portraits of Prominent Citizens</i> (William Cay & Sons). The book, one of a series published annually between 1890 and 1912, reproduces his obituary from the <i>Aberdeen Free Press</i> newspaper. Macandrew was born in Fortrose, Ross and Cromarty. His family moved to Drumoak, Deeside, when he was young. He served as an apprentice architect and joiner in the offices of William Henderson and Baille Watson. He then started business on his own account. He lived and worked for a period in New Zealand, before returning to Aberdeen. At the time of his death, Macandrew lived at Vinery Lodge, Cults. Amongst his works, he was contracted to build Peterhead Prison and various works for the University of Aberdeen, including the library at King's College and the Anatomy Rooms at Marischal College. He designed the Free John Knox Church, Gerard Street, the Free Church in Culsalmond, plus the Aberdeen Hydropathic Establishment, later the Bath Hotel. Extensive information about Macandrew can be found in his entry on the <i>Dictionary of Scotland Architects 1660-1980</i> website and in his newspaper obituaries.
