Background

Frank Lockwood was born in 1865 at Trenton, New Jersey, United States.

Career

He received an architectural training in New York, and there began work as a draftsman. Sent by his firm to supervise a church under construction at Anniston, Ala., he continued to reside in the South the rest of his life, beginning architectural practice first at Columbus, Ga.

In 1895, having been commissioned to design the Standard Club at Montgomery, Ala., Mr. Lockwood moved to that city to open an office and in the following years became one of the best known architects of his time in the southern states. In Montgomery he prepared plans for the City Post Office; First National Bank and later additions to the building; Greystone Hotel: the Beauvoir and Memorial Hospitals; and additions to the State Capitol. He also designed (in Gothic style) the Trinity Presbyterian church at Montgomery, and Episopal churches at Dothan, Troy and Telladega, Ga. Among other work were High Schools in many cities, also buildings at Huntington College and the University of Alabama.
