Thomas Henry Poole (1860 – 31 July 1919[1]) was an English-born architect who designed numerous churches and schools in New York City.

[2] Poole is listed in a Manhattan city directory as an architect in 1887, when he was 27, suggesting that he may have had a substantial apprenticeship.

He wrote a detailed architectural review of the Westminster Cathedral when it opened in London, England, in 1903: …outside of its practical character it ought certainly to lead to the further development of all that is beautiful in art and to the better interior adornment of our churches… giving us the best possible facilities for the carrying out of all the requirements of our religion to the fullest possible extent with all the solemnity and grandeur that the service of man can invoke and the offering of our best works and thoughts as well as of our bodies and souls to God the Lord and Master of all.

[10]Poole's name also appears as a contributor in the Catholic Encyclopedia: An International Work of Reference, published in 1913.

[11][12] Poole died 31 July 1919, at his Manhattan office, 13 West 30th Street.
