Thomas Turnbull (1824–1907) was a notable New Zealand architect.
He was born in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1824.[1] He was the first president of the Wellington Association of Architects, and a member of the Wellington City Council in 1891.[1] He designed the Old Bank Arcade[2], St John's Church in Willis Street, and St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Masterton.[3] His 3-storey design for the General Assembly Library was not completed because of rising costs, and it was finished with only two floors by John Campbell in 1899.[4]
His youngest son, William Turnbull, joined his practice in 1891.[1]
