Crouch and Wilson

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