George Rae (born 1901) was an Australian architect. He designed some of Brisbane's best interwar apartment buildings. A number of his works are listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.[1]
George Rae was born on 8 March 1901 in at 20 Avon Street, Glasgow, Scotland, son of Alexander Don Renwick Rae and his wife Agnes McLean McPherson.[2]
From 1927 to 1931, George Rae worked for Atkinson, Powell and Conrad. From 1931 to 1933, he was in partnership with Lange Leopold Powell.[1]
In his early thirties and one of Brisbane's most successful young architects, Rae had established his own architectural practice in Brisbane in 1933. Rae designed a variety of buildings, including new forms of architectural construction to Brisbane such as picture theatres and residential flats.
