Architect. Born in Edinburgh. Amongst his designs were: Aberconway House, Mayfair (1922), the Royal Horticultural Society's Lawrence Hall (1928); the British Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair in New York; Loughton tube station (1940). Died in London.
For want of a image of the man we are using a photo of Lawrence Hall. The blue plaque on the building is not for Easton, but for J. Arthur Rank.
