Timeline
He was married to Elizabeth (Betty) Margaret Corrigall (d.2011) in 1939.
He died at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Edinburgh on 16 October 1997.
Dey lived all his adult life in Corstorphine and was a keen local historian, writing Corstorphine: A Pictorial History of a Midlothian Village (1990). He was an active member (and Honorary President) of the Corstorphine Trust and oversaw the archive held in the Dower House.
In 1937 he joined the office of Alexander Esme Gordon as an architect, working on the transport pavilion for the Glasgow Empire Exhibition. However this was interrupted by the Second World War. Initially he joined the Scots Guards but then undertook officer training at Sandhurst and received a commission to serve in the Gordon Highlanders. He saw active service with the 8th Army in Egypt, including El Alamein, and rose to the rank of captain. He received an early de-mob in 1945 to help with the Clackmannan County Plan under James Shearer but in 1946 returned to his friend Esme Gordon as a full partner, thereafter known as Gordon & Dey. The company moved from 20 Dovecot Road in Corstorphine to 36 Heriot Row in the New Town as their fortunes grew.
In his year out (1933-4) he made a study tour of Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands. He then worked under William Kininmonth in the offices of Rowand Anderson & Paul. In 1935 he undertook a study tour of Paris and London and enrolled in Britain’s first Town Planning course, under Frank Mears in Edinburgh. He concurrently helped the then-elderly John Begg in one of his final projects: the Westfield Autocar project in Stirling. In December 1935 he qualified RIBA, giving both his home and business address as Rothiemay, 22 St John’s Road, Edinburgh: a large Victorian villa on the east side of Corstorphine. In 1936 he briefly joined the City Architect’s Department under Ebenezer James MacRae and undertook the condition survey of the Canongate prior to its redevelopment.
William Gordon Dey FRIBA (1911-1997) was a Scottish architect. He was a partner in the influential firm of Gordon & Dey which specialised in college buildings and had a long-running working relationship with Moray House School of Education.
He was the son of Alexander John Dey FRSE (1868-1937) a pharmaceutical and manufacturing chemist, originally from Rothiemay, and his wife Isabella Scott Robertson. He was born at home, 9 Regent Terrace, on Calton Hill in Edinburgh on 29 April 1911. He was educated at the Royal High School almost adjacent to his home. In 1929 he began studying Architecture at the Edinburgh College of Art. Here he met and befriended his future business partner, Esmé Gordon.
