Architect. "George Hornblower was born in 1858, the son of Lewis Hornblower and younger brother of Frederic W Hornblower. He was educated at Birkenhead School and articled to his father and brother from September 1876 to March 1886, subsequently working in the office of Charles Dunch in London. He studied at the Government School of Art and passed the qualifying exam in 1888, enabling him to be admitted ARIBA. He commenced independent practice in 1891 in London, entering into partnership with Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo in the same year; the partnership was dissolved in 1893.
"Hornblower was admitted FRIBA in 1899 and acted as consulting architect to University College Hospital, London from 1902 to 1926. From 1923 to 1928 he worked in partnership with Ralph Windsor Thorp."
