Edward Sargent (architect)

Edward A. Sargent (November 1, 1842 – February 25, 1914) was an English-born American architect, known for his work on New York City schools, churches, office buildings, clubs, armory and country homes.

[citation needed] He made the plans for the 9th Regiment Armory, constructed the country home Lindenhurst for John Wanamaker at Cheltenham, Pennsylvania.

[4] He designed large and medium-sized residences in the metropolitan New York area, notably in the St. George/New Brighton historic district of Staten Island.

[5][6] Sargent has been credited with designing the Vanderzee-Harper House (circa 1887) at Westervelt Avenue (St. George/New Brighton historic district), although documentation for this attribution is lacking.

[3] Among the many notable Sargent-designed homes in the St. George/New Brighton historic district is 103 St. Mark's Place, originally built by Sargent for banker Frederick A. Rodewald in 1890.
