Thomas Duncan Rhind (14 July 1871 – 24 April 1927) was a Scottish architect and military figure. He was knighted in 1919 for services to his country. ==Life== Thomas was the son of John Rhind a prominent Edinburgh sculptor. His older brothers William Birnie Rhind and John Massey Rhind each followed in their father’s footsteps to become sculptors. Thomas instead chose architecture and after being educated at George Watson’s College he went to train as an architect under Hippolyte Blanc - an important Edinburgh architect specialising in churches. He stayed in his employment from 1887 to 1892. He obtained a post with the London County Council Architectural Department briefly before moving to the firm of Gibson & Russell. He was elected ARIBA at the very young age of 24, a reflection upon his skills. In 1898 he formed a partnership with a former student friend Robert Hamilton Paterson. This lasted only until 1906 and he thereafter practiced alone. In 1902 he married Mary Elizabeth Gilbert, eldest daughter of W. Matthews Gilbert, then the chief reporter of The Scotsman newspaper. Clearly with family influence his work was highly sculptural, often working directly with family members to ornament a building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Duncan Rhind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
