William G. Malcomson

William George Malcomson was born in 1856 in Hamilton, Ontario.[3] He began his architectural career early, and in 1875 supervised the construction of the Henry Langley-designed Erie Street United Church in Ridgetown, Ontario.[4] In 1882, Malcomson married Jessie E. McKinlay; the couple had five children. William G. Malcomson died in 1937.[5]

William E. Higginbotham

William E. Higginbotham was born in 1858 in Detroit.[3] He was educated in the Detroit public schools, and at the age of 19 joined the architectural form of J. V. Smith.[1] He married Nettie M. Morphy in 1892; the couple had two children:[3] a daughter, Doris Higginbotham (born 26 February 1893, Detroit; died 3 July 1983, Lafayette, LA) and a son, Bruce Field Higginbotham (born 1895, Detroit; died 1939, Atlanta, GA). William E. Higginbotham died in 1922.[1]

Other principals and architects

  • Malcomson and Higginbotham began as a partnership between William G. Malcomson and William E. Higginbotham.
  • Around 1907, the firm changed its name to "Malcomson, Higginbotham and Clement" with the addition of Hugh B. Clement as a partner. Clement soon left, and the name reverted to "Malcomson and Higginbotam".
  • Wirt C. Rowland joined the firm, though not as a partner, in 1912 and stayed until 1915 when he rejoined Albert Kahn.[6]
  • C. William Palmer became a partner in 1920 and the firm became known as "Malcomson, Higginbotham and Palmer",[7] reverting again to "Malcomson and Higginbotham" upon Palmer's departure in 1924, despite Higginbotham's death in 1922.
  • In 1925, Alexander L. Trout became a partner,[8] and the firm once more changed its name to "Malcomson and Higginbotham and Trout" until 1935, when Trout left.[14]
  • The firm finally dropped Higginbotham's name after Malcomson's death in 1937 with the addition of Ralph R. Calder,[9] and Maurice E.
