Henry Franklin Kilburn

Henry Franklin Kilburn, FAIA, (February 20, 1844 in Ashfield, Massachusetts – September 26, 1905 in New York City) was an American architect active in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century New York City who is particularly associated with church architecture.

[2] Although he practiced for a number of years, only toward the end of his career, however, was Kilburn primarily active with ecclesiastical commissions; the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission reports that "Kilburn was also the architect of many private residences, factories, stables, and theaters in Manhattan.

"[1] Born in Ashfield, Massachusetts, Kilburn served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

"He was a member of the Architectural League of New York and a number of clubs and associations.

"[3] Much of Kilburn's work has not survived, and that which has, has been under threat of demolition or general dilapidation for many years.
