John Scott was born in May 10, 1851 in Ipswich, England to William Scott, an architect. In 1853 the family immigrated to Canada, settling in Windsor, Ontario in 1858, where William Scott established an architectural practice. John Scott was educated in the public schools and at the age of sixteen began the study of civil engineering and in the early 1870s was engineer in charge of the Detroit and Bay City Railroad. Circa 1873, after its completion, he joined his father's office in Detroit, where he had moved it in 1872. He became his father's partner in 1874 in the firm of William Scott & Son, which became William Scott & Company in 1875 when they were joined by another son, Arthur H. Scott.
In 1887, after being chosen architects of the new Marquette Branch Prison, the Scotts established a branch office at Marquette to supervise the work under the management of D. Fred Charlton, an employee since 1885. In January 1889 Charlton was made a partner in the Marquette office, which was renamed Scott & Charlton. William Scott died June 30, 1889 in Detroit, and the Scott brothers formed a new partnership with Louis Kamper, an employee since 1888. The partnerships of Scott, Kamper & Scott and Scott & Charlton were both dissolved in 1890, with the Scott brothers continuing under the name of John Scott & Company in Detroit.
