Norman Wade and Alva Martin Bartley formed an architectural partnership which lasted from 1919 until around 1935. [1] [2] Together, and individually, they were prolific in designing some of the most iconic modern Auckland buildings of the period.
Some notable clients including the Auckland Electrical Power Board, the Auckland Harbour Board and Auckland Meat Co.
A number of the structures they designed which remain standing are listed on the Heritage New Zealand register.
Thomas Edward Norman Wade, better known as Norman Wade, was born 1880 and died in 1954. He trained under his father, Henry Greensmith Wade (of the architectural partnership Wade and Wade) alongside his brother Henry Logan Wade. [2]
While Logan Wade took over his father's practice, Norman Wade formed the partnership Wade and Goldsbro' with George Selwyn Goldsbro’. Wade and Goldsbro' was formed in July 1902 and dissolved in July 1908. [2]
After the dissolution of Wade and Goldsbro', Norman and his brother Henry worked together as Wade and Wade [3] until Norman joined with Alva Bartley as Wade and A. M. Bartley around 1919. [2]
Norman Wade was a secretary to the Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects. [4]
