James Mcintyre Henry (1852 – 18 September 1929) was an architect who practiced in Edinburgh and Lothian.[1] His works include the Royal British Hotel and Lothian Chambers in Edinburgh.[1] [2]
He was born in Dunkeld in 1852.[3] His parents were William Henry, an innkeeper and Isabella Henry.[3] He was their fourth son.[3]
He was articled to Andrew Heiton in 1866 and stayed with him until 1872.[3] He moved to Edinburgh, having secured a place in the office of David Bryce, then worked on Blair Castle for John Stewart-Murray, 7th Duke of Atholl.[3] After the death of Bryce, he moved to the offices of John Charles Hay.[3] He set up his own practice in 1883.[3]
Thomas Forbes Maclennan became his assistant in 1894 and eventually went into partnership with him in 1905.[3] Henry seems to have acted as practice manager from this point.[3]
