Pite was a travelling student of the Architectural Association. Pite’s brother Arthur Beresford Pite was also an architect. Pite built All Saints Church Ealing and the Medical School at Aberdeen University. In 1919 Pite took his son and Fairweather (the draughtsman of this drawing) into partnership with him. The present drawing relates to the 1909 new King’s College Hospital. Originally a 120-bed hospital, on a site near Lincoln’s Inn Fields, opened in 1840 and within two years it was overwhelmed, with two patients often forced to share a single bed. Following demographic changes, a decision was taken to move the hospital to the open spaces of Denmark Hill. Following an Act of Parliament in 1904, the foundation stone for Pite’s design was laid in 1909. Pite wrote ‘The whole of its great ward blocks face Ruskin Park, so munificently secured by the Camberwell authorities, and practically open country – a magnificent position which no other London hospital possesses.’ (British Medical Journal 29th July 1905.) This open country is clearly shown in this impressive drawing.
Hubert Moore Faireweather (1881-1950). Born in Esher, in Surrey, he was articled to Arthur Smyth Flower between 1897 and 1899 and then became assistant to William Douglas Caröe and subsequently Walter Henry Brierley. In 1906 he joined Pite, being taken into the partnership in 1919.

Edmund J Thring (1906 - 1985)
Design for St Nicholas House, High Street, Bristol
Gouache
46 x 54 cm
Signed lower left and inscribed 'Alec F French & Partners, Architects, Bristol' (home to the Commercial Union Group and remodelled in 1959 by Alec French and partners).
An architectural drawing of St Nicholas House, a 1930s Art Deco building on the corner of St Nicholas Street and High Street in the heart of Bristol. It was originally built as a banking headquarters, and is recognisable for its curved facade. Today St Nicholas House is a co-working space owned by The Office Group; the interiors have been remodelled in an Art Deco-inspired style, in honour of the building's architectural origins.
Edmund J Thring was an architectural perspectivist who produced over 2,500 perspectives in his lifetime. He spent much of the Second WorId War in the Photographic Reconnaissance Interpretation Unit at RAF Nuneham Park, interpreting aerial photographs and making models.
