Revision as of 05:16, 25 February 2010

West-Park Presbyterian Church, Amsterdam Avenue Facade Entrance, Upper West Side, New York City, 1889

Henry Franklin Kilburn, FAIA, (February 20, 1844, Ashfield, Massachusetts-September 26, 1905, New York City) was an American architect active in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century New York City.[1] "Kilburn was also the architect of many private residences, factories, stables, and theaters in Manhattan."[2] Although possessing his practice for a number of years, Kilburn was primarily active only toward the end of his career with ecclesiastical commissions.

Life

West End Presbyterian Church, New York City, 1892

Born in Ashfield, Massachusetts, Kilburn served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. After the war, he went to stu­dies and prac­tice ar­chi­tec­ture in Nort­hampton, Mas­sa­chusetts. Around 1869, at the age of twenty five, he set up a practice in New York City and was elec­ted a prac­ticing mem­ber of the New York Chap­ter of the Ame­ri­can In­sti­tute of Ar­chi­tects in 1896. "He was a mem­ber of the Ar­chi­tec­tu­ral Le­ague of New York and a num­ber of clubs and as­so­cia­ti­ons. He was elec­ted an As­so­ciate of the Ame­ri­can In­sti­tute of Ar­chi­tects in 1886 and a Fel­low in 1889."[3]

Much of Kilburn's work has not survived and that which has been under threat of demolition or general dilapidation for many years. He worked in a variety of styles, producing all derivative work of other fashionable architect's styles, including Richardsonian Romanesque and Stanford White's refined Italianate style.[1] This was often due to his designing the more substantial additions or extensions of buildings. He established his practice in New York City around 1865.[1]
