Also sometimes referred to as HILL MITCHELSON, Sydney Percival.
Was born in Bournemouth, England and was working in Johannesburg from about 1904 until about 1935 as Hill Mitchelson. He was listed in the United Transvaal Directory of 1915 as civil engineer, quantity surveyor and architect and was responsible for many sizeable buildings in Johannesburg, including a number of apartment buildings and houses. Mitchelson commented on the Baker Scholarship in 1913 warning those who entered competitions did so dependant on good luck rather than ability. He was the architect for a proposed hotel at Polana Beach in Lourenco Marques, 1919. By 1959 he is recorded as a retired member of the Transvaal Institute of 20 Pretoria Street Extension, Highlands North, Johannesburg. He died in Johannesburg.
