Williamson

Plasterer

Messrs Williamson appear to have been based in or around Kirkintilloch. They were employed as plasterers on the Church of the Holy Family, Union Street, Kirkintilloch, designed by Pugin & Pugin (1893), where they were described as 'local' tradesmen. 1 They may be the firm of J. & A. Williamson, who were working as plasterers in Kirkintilloch ten years later. John Honeyman & Keppie's job books refer to them in various other roles, including masons, joiners, plumbers and suppliers of ventilators.
