James G. Hill

James G. Hill (1841–1913)[1] was an American architect who, during the period 1876 to 1883, headed the Office of the Supervising Architect of the United States Department of the Treasury,[2] which oversaw major Federal buildings.

During that period he designed or supervised design of many courthouses, post offices and other public buildings.

[3] From December 1878 to May 1879, Hill was suspended from his office while being investigated for fraud, with John Fraser serving as acting Supervising Architect in Hill's absence.

Acquitted, Hill was immediately restored to his position.
