Frederick W. Higginbotham (1874-1938)
Higginbotham had set up his own office at 9 Lower Sackville Street by 1900, and was became surveyor to various large private estates in Leinster including the Earl of Howth’s estate in Dublin. In 1905 Higginbotham was elected to Dublin City Council and in 1908 he was appointed a justice of the peace for the borough of Dublin. His own office was destroyed during the 1916 Rising. He actively supported the establishment of of Howth as an urban district and, when this took place in 1919, became the first surveyor to the newly-constituted authority, a post which he retained until his death. In 1921 went into partnership with Arthur J. Stafford as Higginbotham & Stafford. Higginbotham died in 1938, but the business continued under the name until the 1970s.
