Adam, James (1732–94). Distinguished Scots architect, he was the third son of William
Adam. He toured Italy (1760–3), accompanied by George
Richardson, before joining the family firm in London. While in Italy he met
Clérisseau, and the two men travelled to Rome. Adam visited Naples and
Paestum, but his plans to see Sicily and Greece did not work out. His studies of
Pompeian decorations and
grotesques became important for his work as an interior designer, as
The Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam (1773–1822) proves. Although, by the time he returned to England, his brother Robert
Adam had established the vocabulary of the ‘Adam style’, James must share in the credit for the many distinguished buildings under their joint authorship. In his own right he was responsible for the
Ionic gateway at Cullen House, Banff (1767), Hertford Shire and Town Hall (1767–9), the
façades of Portland Place, London (1776), and several buildings in Glasgow. In 1769 James succeeded his brother as Architect of the King's Works.
