TIMOTHY FRANCIS WALSH

Background

Timothy Francis Walsh was born in 1868 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.

Education

Timothy Walsh was educated in Boston where he graduated at the English High School in 1886.

Career

He entered the office of Peabody & Stearns as an architectural student and after promotion to the post of draftsman, remained in the employ of the firm for a decade. In 1894 he left for a year of advanced study in Paris Atliers, and before returning to this country spent another year abroad in travel.

In Boston Mr. Walsh began practice in 1896, in partnership with Charles Maginnis and the late Mathew Sullivan (Maginnis, Sullivan & Walsh), and after Mr. Sullivan withdrew in later years, the firm operated under the name of Maginnis & Walsh with an office in the Statler Building until the latter’s death. A list of the firm’s executed commissions (compiled after 1934) reveals that more than a hundred and fifteen ecclesiastical buildings were built from plans of Maginnis & Walsh, all for the Roman Catholic Church, and erected in all parts of the country. He was survived by Mr. Maginnis who continued practice under the firm name.

Among the noteworthy examples of the firm’s works should be named the Boston College group; National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D. C., St. Gregory’s Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio: Carmelite Convent in Santa Clara, Calif., Church of St. Catherine of Siena in Boston; Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass: Nazareth College, St. Paul, Minn., Jesuit Novitiates in Weston, Mass, and Wernersville, Pa., Trinity College Chapel, Washington, D. C., St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Md., Mary- knoll Seminary and Convent, Los Gatos, Calif., St. John's Church in North Cambridge, Mass., Cardinal O Connell s Residence in Boston, and many other buildings too numerous to mention.
