William Mackison trained as an Architect and Engineer with his uncle in Stirling, first becoming Burgh Surveyor there and then at Dundee from 1867 to 1906. He designed Commercial Street in 1871, with French Rennaisance details. In 1906 Mackison claimed £40,000 from Dundee Town Council for additional work undertaken outside his normal duties.
