Archibald I. Lawrence (1869–1950), usually referred to as A. I. Lawrence , was an American architect who practiced in Berlin, New Hampshire , and Burlington, Vermont .
Life and career
After studying at the Massachusetts Normal Art School in Boston , Lawrence moved to Berlin in 1892. He began his professional career soon after, when he formed a partnership with L. U. Cole. This lasted until 1894, when he opened his own office.[ 1] After 10 years, he formed a partnership with his draftsman, Howland C. Bates, Lawrence & Bates.[ 2] Bates opened his own office soon after, and would design Berlin's City Hall. Lawrence remained in Berlin until 1907, when he moved west to Vermont , settling in Burlington .[ 1] There he took the place of Walter R. B. Willcox , who had moved to Seattle .[ 3] In 1919 he moved to Isle La Motte , where he focused on industrial design.[ 4] Eventually, he returned to Burlington, keeping an office there until 1932.[ 3]
Legacy
Two buildings of Lawrence's design have been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places , and two more in the downtowns of Concord, New Hampshire , and Barre, Vermont , contribute to listed historic districts.
