History
Born on 27th August 1897, Robert Blain, an Apprentice Architect, attended the Glasgow School of Art between 1913 and 1916. While completing his apprenticeship, Robert attended evening classes in Drawing and Painting. In his final year, it seems that Robert Blains enrolled at the same time as nineteen other Architects' Draughtsmen and Architects' Apprentices. It is possible that they were enrolled as part of a programme devised by an architecture firm, but no real evidence has been found of this. After leaving the Glasgow School of Art, Blain completed his apprenticeship and attended military service in 1919. He then became an Assistant at Denny and Blain Architecture Practice before being made a partner in 1921. During his time at the GSA, he lived in Newlands.
