The Hong Kong Institute of Architects has a brief background on Raven's career as an architect:

Weaser & Raven was founded by Arthur Robert Fenton Raven (MRSanl, Authorized Architect 1905>41, HKIA 1956) and William Lionel Wreford Weaser (Authorized Architect 1905-24) before 1909, Weaser had his own practice and Raven in partnership with Oscar Boultbee Raven (Authorized Architect 1919-37) to form Raven & Raven around 1921. Later on Raven partnered with A. H. Basto to form Raven & Basto from 1922-37. Raven and Basto separated and had their own practice in 1938 until 1941.
