H. Edwards Ficken

H. Edwards Ficken (1852-1929) was an English American architect in practice in New York City.

[1] Ficken came to the United States in 1869 and worked variously for the firms of Renwick & Sands, Potter & Robertson, and McKim, Mead & Bigelow.

[2] Aside from a brief association with Edward H. Clark, initiated in 1885,[3] Ficken maintained a private practice until 1913, when he was appointed supervising architect of Woodlawn Cemetery, a position he held until his death in 1929.

[6][7] In 1883, he was chosen architect of the club's new building, though his design was eventually rejected due to cost.

After construction began on a more expensive building designed by Charles W. Clinton, Ficken sued for and was awarded his full professional fee.
