William H. Hill (1867-1941)
Architect and engineer, of Cork. William Henry Hill, confusingly the son of another William Henry Hill, studied engineering for three years at Queen’s College, Cork, and then served a pupilage with his father who took him into partnership in 1899, when the practice was renamed W.H. Hill & Son. After his father’s death in 1911, he carried on the business under the same name. In 1919 he took Henry W. Flanagin into partnership, practising as Hill Son & Flanagin until around 1922 when the name reverted back.
