See also:WATERHOUSE, See also:ALFRED (1830-1905) , See also:English architect, was See also:born at See also:Liverpool on the 19th of See also:July 1830, and passed his professional pupilage under See also:Richard See also:Lane in See also:Manchester. His earliest commissions were of a domestic nature, but his position as a designer of public buildings was assured as See also:early as 1859 by success in the open competition for the Manchester See also:assize courts. This See also:work marked him not only as an See also:adept in the planning of a complicated See also:building on a large See also:scale, but also as a See also:champion ofthe See also:Gothic cause. Nine years later, in 1868, another competition secured for Waterhouse the See also:execution of the Manchester See also:town-See also:- HALL

Oxford, had been put into his hands in 1867. At Caius, out of deference to the See also:Renaissance treatment of the older parts of the college, the Gothic See also:element was intentionally mingled with classic detail, while Balliol and See also:Pembroke, Cambridge, which followed in 1871, may be looked upon as typical specimens of the See also:style of his See also:mid career—Gothic tradition (See also:European rather than See also:British) tempered by individual See also:taste and by See also:adaptation to See also:modern needs. Girton College, Cambridge, a building of simpler type, See also:dates originally from the same See also:period (1.870), but has been periodically enlarged by further buildings. Two important domestic See also:works were undertaken in 1870 and 1871 respectively—See also:Eaton Hall for the See also:duke, then See also:marquis, of See also:Westminster, and Heythrop Hall, See also:Oxfordshire, the latter, a restoration, being of a fairly strict classic type. Iwerne See also:Minster for See also:Lord See also:Wolverton was begun in 1877. In 1865 See also:Water-See also:house had removed his practice from Manchester to See also:London, and he was one of the architects selected to compete for the Royal Courts of See also:Justice. He received from the See also:government, without competition, the See also:commission to build the Natural See also:History Museum, See also:South See also:Kensington, a See also:design which marks an See also:epoch in the modern use of terra-See also:cotta. The new University See also:Club—a Gothic design—was undertaken in 1866, to be followed nearly twenty years later by the See also:National Liberal Club, a study in Renaissance See also:composition.
