THOMSON, James


James Thomson

66 Cathedral Square, Christchurch

Stone's Directory shows James Thomson at 66 Cathedral Square during the period 1928 to 1936. By 1939 he had been replaced at this address by Cornelius Mark Gregorius Von Berwald and F. E. McGregor. The studio was probably located in the Cathedral Chambers Building designed by W. B Armson. This was later the location of V. C. Browne's studio before the building was demolished about 1975.
