Adrian Boucher

Adrian Boucher (c. 1760–1804) was a French architect who came to prominence after emigrating to the United States in the late 18th century.

He was considered amongst the top European talent involved in the construction of post-colonial America,[1] and became the first architect to work in Savannah, Georgia.

[3] He left his homeland for the United States, in the late 18th century, as a refugee of the French Revolution.

[4] He arrived in New York City,[5] where he worked as a draftsman for noted architect brothers and his compatriots Joseph-François and Charles Mangin.

[5][8] Boucher designed the second of three incarnations of Savannah's Christ Church, the construction of which began in 1801 but was leveled during the 1804 Antigua–Charleston hurricane.
