Henry Robson Richardson was one of America’s most famous architects. Born in Louisiana in 1838, he studied at Harvard, Tulane, as well as the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. One of his major works is Boston’s Trinity Church. Bishop Phillips Brooks was the rector of this Episcopal church and wrote an article in 1886 for the Harvard Monthly celebrating the life of Mr. Richardson, a few months after his death; I transcribed an excerpt of this article in Simplified Gregg for the blog.
