About John Bradshaw Gass
Lived 1855 – 1939 (aged 83–84). John Bradshaw Gass was a British architect and artist.
John Bradshaw Gass (18 June 1855, Annan – 3 July 1939) was a Scottish architect and artist.
In 1882, when Gass became a partner, the firm adopted the style Bradshaw & Gass.
Like Sir Edwin Lutyens, another traditionalist and pupil of Ernest George, Gass designed country houses in period and vernacular styles.
From 1917 to 1925, Gass designed the Methodist College at Medak in Andhra Pradesh, which, like Lutyens' New Delhi work is organised, in the grand manner, around a central axis.
Gass was known as watercolour artist, first exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy in 1879. In later life he frequently travelled and filled more than twenty albums with sketches of North Africa and Asia.
