Alfred Waterhouse

Alfred Waterhouse (July 19, 1830 - August 22, 1905) was an English architect, particularly associated with the Victorian Gothic revival. He is perhaps best known for his design for the Natural History Museum in London, although he also built a wide variety of other buildings throughout the country. Financially speaking, Waterhouse was probably the most successful of all Victorian architects. Though expert within Gothic and Renaissance styles, Waterhouse never limited himself to a single architectural style.

Later life

Waterhouse retired from architecture in 1902, having practiced in partnership with his son, Paul Waterhouse, from 1891. He died at Yattendon Court on the 22nd August 1905.
