Peter Atkinson (architect, Born 1725)
Peter Atkinson (1735–1805) was an English architect. Biography He was born at or near Ripon and started work as a carpenter. He later became an assistant to John Carr and was employed at Buxton, Harewood and elsewhere. In 1786 he became responsible for maintaining York's corporation property, and subsequently took over Carr's extensive works in Yorkshire and further north. The Atkinson family of York architects continued after Atkinson's death. His son, Peter, himself had sons John Bownas Atkinson (1807–1874) and William Atkinson (architect, born 1811). Before their father's death, the two sons had taken over and for the next thirty plus years they were the most prolific of the city's architects. In 1877 William took James Demaisne (1842–1911) as partner. Works Among Atkinson's works were: * No. 18 Blake Street, York, c. 1789 * Monk Bridge, York, 1794 (later widened in 1924–26) * Hackness Hall, 1797, a large mansion for Sir R.V.B.

James Salmon (architect, Born 1805)
James Salmon (1805-1888) was a Scottish architect, active chiefly in Glasgow and the west of Scotland. Salmon served his apprenticeship with John Brash, who between 1823 and 1829 designed the houses of Glasgow's Blythswood Square. Salmon would no doubt have been involved with the work. One of the great architectural opportunities of 19th century Glasgow came in the opening up of whole new areas for development and the freedom to design them. This was the opportunity Brash had with Blythswood Square. James Salmon's chance came with the planning of the new suburb of Dennistoun. In 1854, he planned an area of ornamental villas and self-contained houses mixed with terraces and open spaces. Unfortunately, very little of this came about since the area was too near the industrial heart of the city to become popular. By 1861, Salmon's plans had been discarded. Of the original design only Westercraigs survives - with a few of the 'ornamental villas' and four terraces. Surviving buildin ...

Peter Ellis (architect)
Peter Ellis (1805–1884) was a British architect and inventor of the paternoster lift from Liverpool. From the mid-1840s he lived at 40 Falkner Square, a house which he designed and on which an English Heritage Blue Plaque is now sited. Buildings Peter Ellis designed Oriel Chambers in 1864 at the corner of Water Street and Covent Garden in Liverpool, considered by many architectural historians to be one of the most influential buildings of its age, a precursor of the modernist style in architecture and one of the earliest attempts to break away from the classical tradition of commercial architecture. It was described by Charles Reilly, Professor of Architecture at Liverpool University as the "oddest building in Liverpool, at once so logical and so disagreeable...as a cellular habitation for the human insect it is a distinct asset to the town," and by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the most remarkable buildings of its date in Europe." His other well-known commission was 16 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
