Engineer and architect. George Hemingway Mills, a younger son of WILLIAM HEMINGWAY MILLS and brother of ARTHUR EDWIN MILLS, was born in England on 3 October 1874. He was educated at the Corrig School, Dun Laoghaire, from 1884 to 1890, then studied mathematics under a private tutor in Dublin and geometrical drawing at the Metropolitan School of Art. From 1892 to 1895 he served a three-year pupilage under his father,chief engineer of the Great Northern Railway Company, and then joined the company's engineering staff. He was resident engineer for the reconstruction of the Laytown and Gormanstown viaducts and for the Howth electric tramway. In 1903 he was appointed resident engineer for the new Armagh to Castleblayney line on which he was engaged until 1911 or later.(1) He subsequently appears to have set up in private practice in Armagh, designing a number of public elementary schools in the county between 1927 and 1938. He died in 1951. He had married circa 1907 and at the time of the 1911 census had two sons, Stanley and Herbert.
The Irish Architectural Archive owns a set of wooden templates for drawing railway curves which Mills appears to have inherited from his father (Acc. 2000/104).
