==Early life and education==

Smith was born on 2 December 1866 in [[Islington]], [[north London]], England. Smith attended the [[University of Brighton School of Art|Brighton School of Art]], the [[Architectural Association School of Architecture|Architectural Association School]] and later went onto the [[Royal Academy of Arts#Royal Academy Schools|Royal Academy Schools]].<ref name="London">{{cite web |url=https://www.londonremembers.com/subjects/arnold-dunbar-smith|title=Arnold Dunbar Smith|access-date=1 June 2024|website=londonremembers.com|archive-date=20 April 2024 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240420075107/https://www.londonremembers.com/subjects/arnold-dunbar-smith|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="AHRart"/>
==Professional career==

In 1883 Smith was an [[Apprenticeship|apprentice]] to John George Gibbins in [[Brighton]] then later between 1884 and 1896 he went onto work as an assistant for a number of other architects.<ref name="AHRart">{{cite web|url=https://architecture.arthistoryresearch.net/architects/smith-arnold-dunbar

Brewer was elected in 1901 while Smith was elected in c1922. Brewer was also on the Art Workers Guild Committee from 1906 to 1907 and was one of the founding leaders of the [[Design and Industries Association]].<ref name="London"/>

The Passmore Edwards Settlement building established the partnership's reputation as [[Arts and Crafts movement#Architecture|arts and crafts architects]] working in the “Free Style” of the 1890s.<ref name="London"/> The partnership designed mainly for the residential houses, such as The Fives Court, in [[Pinner]]. That was until until 1909 when again they won a design competition, this time to design the [[National Museum Cardiff|National Museum of Wales]] building in [[Cathays Park]], Cardiff.<ref name="London"/> The conditions of competition had the following guidelines:<ref name="Cardiff">{{cite web|url=https://museum.wales/articles/2449/Attic-sculptures-at-National-Museum-Cardiff/|title=Attic sculptures at National Museum Cardiff|author=Kristine Chapman|access-date=2024-06-01|website=museum.wales|archive-date=2024-03-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240316210302/https://museum.wales/articles/2449/Attic-sculptures-at-National-Museum-Cardiff/|url-status=live}}</ref>

''"From the position of the site on the east side of the [[City Hall, Cardiff|City Hall]] and the relation of the [[Cardiff Crown Court|Law Courts]] on its west side, to that building as a centre, it is thought desirable that externally the Museum building should be designed in harmony with these buildings, that, so far as possible, it may be in sympathy with the general scheme adopted."''<ref name="Cardiff"/>

The partnership worked with the Welsh sculptor [[Goscombe John|Sir William Goscombe John]] (1860–1952) to design the sculptures that would decorate the building.<ref name="Cardiff"/> They became pioneers of the [[Neoclassical architecture|Neo-Classical Revival]] with this building, and it played an important role in establishing the American [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux-Arts style]] of [[classicism]] in the United Kingdom.

Later in 1916 they designed [[Heal's]] furniture store in [[Tottenham Court Road]] in London (1916). After Cecil Brewer's death in 1918, Smith continued the work and he designed many residential houses as well as additions to the [[Fitzwilliam Museum]] (1924-1933). In 1930, J.A. Meikle and K.W.F. Harris became partners under the firm name of A. Dunbar Smith. After Smith's death in 1933, Meikle, Harris and Sidney Clark continued the work under the original partnership's name of Smith and Brewer. The firm ended with the death of Clark in 1949.<ref name="London"/>
