The famous colonial architectural firm Swan & Maclaren had its beginnings in 1887 as Swan & Lermit, a firm of civil engineers. It is one of the pioneer architectural firms in Singapore. Two engineers, Archibald Swan and Alfred Lermit, started Swan & Lermit, but the latter left the partnership in 1890. In 1892, James Waddell Boyd Maclaren joined as a partner and the firm was renamed Swan & Maclaren. Maclaren had been trained as a civil engineer in Edinburgh. The firm has since contributed to the architectural greatness of several historic buildings in Singapore such as the Teutonia Club, which is today Goodwood Park Hotel, and the Victoria Memorial Hall.
