J.T. Cackett & R. Burns Dick [also known as Cackett & Burns-Dick] was an architectural partnership formed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England in 1899 [1898 or 1900 - sources differ] by James Thorburn Cackett (1860-1928) and Robert Burns Dick (1868-1954).
Cackett retired in 1920 and Burns Dick ran the practice alone until 1923 when Robert Norman Houghton MacKellar (1890-1973) was taken into partnership. By 1928 the practice had been renamed Burns Dick & MacKellar.
During World War One, Cackett & Burns Dick designed offices for the Armstrong Naval Yard in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. They also designed "Shortstown", a model village constructed for airship workers employed by Short Brothers at their facility in Cardington, Bedfordshire. Significant post-war projects by Cackett & Burns Dick included the Laing Art Gallery (1903-04), Spanish City, Whitley Bay, Cross House, Westgate Road (1911), Newcastle University Students Union, Pilgrim Street Police Headquarters and Fire Station and Northumberland County Hall.
