HILL, ARTHUR
- Born: 1846 Died: 1921
Architect, of Cork. Arthur Hill, the son of HENRY HILL , was born in Cork on 8 June 1846. He was sent at an early age to the local School of Art and received his general education at a private school. He studied engineering at Queen's College, Cork, obtaining the Civil Engineering Diploma with Honours in 1865.(2) He then went to London, working in the office of THOMAS HENRY WYATT from 1866-1867 and subsequently attending the Royal Academy Schools and the West London School of Art as well as classes in design at the Architectural Association and lectures at University College. In the eight years between 1866 and 1874 he won several awards: the Donaldson Silver Medal from University College in 1868, a Silver Medal and Life Studentship from the Royal Academy for measured drawings in 1871,(3) two Silver Medals from the RIBA for measured drawings,(4) and a National Medallion from the Department of Science and Art, South Kensington. He appears to have been in partnership with his father by December 1869.(5) He continued to practise from the same address, 22 George Street, for the rest of his active professional life, a period of some forty-seven years.
From the time of his studies in London, Hill was a keen advocate of the establishment of university degree courses in architecture. When Queen's College, Cork, established an Architectural Section in connection with the Engineering Department in 1891, he was appointed lecturer to the new section.(6) He also delivered papers on architectural topics to the AAI and other bodies.
Hill had a deep interest in the architecture of the past, especially in Celtic Romanesque architecture. His measured drawings of Ardfert Cathedral, Kilmalkedar and Templenahoe gained him the first of his RIBA Silver Medals in May 1870,(7) and his monograph on Cormac's Chapel, Cashel, the second in 1874.(8) His measured drawings of the so-called 'French Prison' at Kinsale, were published in the Irish Builder in 1874.(9) He was a regular participant in the London Architectural Association's annual excursions, recording the buildings visited in sketches and photographs, some of which were reproduced in the Irish Builder.(10) He also travelled on the Continent, chiefly under the guidance of the English architect Edmund Sharpe (1809-1877). One of these visits is recorded in the The Domed Churches of the Charente, published by the Architectural Association as a memorial to Sharpe in 1884.
Hill married, on 10 August 1881, Flora May, daughter of E.P. Houghton of Stoneby, New Brighton, by whom he had two sons and a daughter. In 1909 his elder son, HENRY HOUGHTON HILL , joined him in the practice, which became known as ARTHUR & amp; HENRY H. HILL . Arthur Hill continued to play an active part in the practice until 1917, when he retired as the result of a severe paralytic stroke. In this year his designs for a large church in the Irish Romanesque style were exhibited at the RHA.(11) Henry Houghton Hill recalls in his obituary of his father, that 'after a slow and tedious recovery he returned to his pencil; and in spite of very impaired powers, his chief delight still lay in designing "chateaux en Espagne"'. Arthur Hill died on 24 February 1921 at Redgarth, Douglas Road, Cork, the house which he had designed for himself, 'having finished his last little drawing,' as his son remembered, 'only five days before'. ALBERT EDWARD MURRAY described Hill as having 'a distinct personality, adhering even in his dress, to old times rather than modern' and as being 'an artist in every sense of the word, caring little for the business side of his profession'. Hill played the organ and the piano, his musical skills being much in demand on the London Architectural Association's excursions.
Hill's pupils and assistants included HUGH WILLIAM FLANAGIN , HENRY JOHN MURPHY ,(12) THOMAS EDMONDE ROBERTS and the painter Richard Henry Albert Willis.
