James, See also:Louisiana, on the 29th of See also:September 1838, of a See also:rich See also:family, his See also:mother being a granddaughter of the famous Dr See also:Priestley, the See also:English dissenting refugee and See also:man of See also:science. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1859, and going immediately to See also:Paris to study See also:architecture, entered the 1 See also:cole See also:des See also:Beaux-Arts. The See also:Civil See also:War, which See also:broke out in the See also:United States while he was in the school, prevented his return to Louisiana, and stripped his family of their possessions, so that Richardson provided for his own support by working in the offices of practising architects in Paris, till the fall of 1865. Coming back, he established himself in New See also:York, where he soon made his way into practice as an architect. In 1878 he moved to See also:Boston, where he passed the remaining years of his See also:life, designing there most of the See also:work that made his reputation. He had married in 1867 See also:Miss Julia Gorham See also:Hayden of Boston; he died on the 27th of See also:April 1886, not yet See also:forty-eight years old.

Hall and See also:Austin Hall at Harvard University; the Chamber of See also:Commerce at See also:Cincinnati. Trinity church, the Pittsburg buildings and the Capitol at Albany were works of See also:great importance, which have had a strong influence on men
who followed him and brought him wide See also:acknowledgment. It is notable that American architects who have studied in See also:Europe, especially in Paris, are See also:apt to See also:drift either into a pathless See also:eclecticism or into the English current. Richardson did neither. The, Romanesque that he saw in Europe, especially in the See also:middle and See also:south of See also:France, appealed so strongly to his sense for See also:mass and broad picturesqueness that he soon followed its leading; away from the See also:style he had learned in Paris. His earliest work was See also:modern See also:French in style; his first church, in Springfield, a startlingly See also:independent version of English See also:Gothic. Yet See also:half a dozen buildings made the transition to that derivative of Romanesque to which afterwards in all his buildings he steadfastly adhered. In Trinity church, his first monumental work, perhaps his finest, he broke away absolutely from the prevailing English Gothic See also:fashion. Instead of the ,.sng Latin See also:cross with aisles and transepts, he made a wide cross almost See also:Greek in See also:plan, with short arms fifty feet broad and aisles that are only passages, a See also:narthex flanked by two western towers, a See also:nave of one See also:double See also:bay, an eastern See also:arm prolonged into a .great See also:apse of the full width of the See also:crossing, over which sits a massive square See also:tower. The arms of the church are See also:barrel-vaulted in See also:wood; under the great tower is a See also:flat coffered See also:ceiling a See also:hundred feet above the See also:floor. The style, though mixed, shows his surrender to the attraction of the churches in See also:Auvergne, which have furnished the material for the See also:design of the apse. The central tower is a See also:reminiscence of the See also:noble See also:lantern of the old See also:cathedral of See also:Salamanca, but the square outline is insisted on instead of the polygonal, and the forms are in other ways much changed. The alteration of the Capitol at Albany, half a dozen years later, shared with See also:Leopold Eidlitz, was a See also:compromise in style, and so lacks the sure handling of his best work, except in that See also:part of the interior in which he was untrammelled, the See also:Senate Chamber and the great See also:staircase. In the buildings at Pittsburg, on the other See also:hand, he was See also:free from interference, and these satisfied him more than any other of his buildings. His great design for the new cathedral at Albany, an See also:adaptation of the Romanesque forms of Auvergne to a large modern problem, would have displayed his mature manner, and been perhaps his greatest work; but the plan did not lend itself to the tradition or the See also:ritual of the See also:Anglican Church, and it was rejected, to his great disappointment.
At first the breadth of his compositions was offset by a richness of See also:ornament which he afterwards called flamboyant, but there was a continual growth in simplicity. Some of his imitators have abused his example, See also:running into See also:mere baldness and brutality, but his own work never lost the fineness of quality with which he began, nor the adequacy of its detail.
Richardson's uncommon See also:personality so embodied itself in his works that it cannot be overlooked. He had an inexhaustible See also:energy of See also:body and mind, an See also:enthusiasm more genial than combative, but so abounding and at times vehement that few men and few bodies of men could resist him.
Abounding energy he had, but not See also:health. A serious bodily injury, and later a chronic malady, made his last years a See also:constant struggle with suffering and infirmity, See also:borne with indomitable cheerfulness, but at last fatal.
It is likely that the small number of his designs enhanced their quality. He put twice the labour into his work that the See also:average architect would have given to it, and often twice the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time, but the result was apt to be twice as See also:good. He found American architecture restless, incoherent and exuberant; his example did much to turn it back to simplicity and repose. He came as near to establishing a style as it is given to any one man to come; but the tendency of the time was too strong, and the classic styles, reasserting themselves, once more drove out the See also:medieval.
