Crouch and Wilson

Crouch and Wilson was an architectural practice based in Melbourne, Australia in the late nineteenth century. The partnership, between Tasmanian-born Thomas Crouch and recently arrived Londoner Ralph Wilson, commenced in 1857 in Elizabeth Street.[1] The firm designed numerous prominent Melbourne buildings including many Presbyterian and Wesleyan churches.[2] After the deaths of the partners in the late 1880s, their sons continued on with the business until its closure in 1916.[1]
