Thomas Gill (architect)
Thomas Gill (1870 in Brooklyn, New York – 1941 in Honolulu, Hawaii) was an American architect who worked in Honolulu, Hawaii, from 1899 to 1941. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he studied at Brooklyn Polytechnic and Pratt Institute. He began his career in 1892 with Walbridge & Walbridge of Brooklyn, and later worked in Bellingham, Washington, before embarking on a world tour that landed him in Honolulu on 9 December 1898. There he found work with H. L. Kerr before opening up his own office in 1903. He was a founding member of the Oahu Country Club and designed its clubhouse, but otherwise designed mostly private residences, two of which are on the National Register of Historic Places: the Edgar and Lucy Henriques House (1904) and the Thomas Alexander Burningham House (1910). His son, Thomas P. Gill, became a prominent local politician.[1]
