Biography

Born in Cork on 8 June 1846, Arthur Hill was the son of Henry Hill and nephew of William Hill, part of a dynasty of Cork-based architects that included his cousins William Henry Hill and Arthur Richard Hill, as well as his son Henry Houghton Hill and first-cousin once-removed William Henry Hill. He was the grandfather via Henry Houghton Hill of Michelin star chef Myrtle Allen.

Hill was educated at the Cork School of Art, and graduated in 1865, before he moved to London where he studied architecture at the West London school of Art. Upon his return to Cork circa 1869, he became a partner in his father's firm.
