BOURKE, JOHN [2]
- Born: - Died: 1871
Architect, of Dublin. John Bourke was presumably a son or near connection of Patrick Bourke, builder, who was living in 1844 at 27 Richmond Street South,(1) the address from John Bourke submitted exhibits to the RHA between 1845 and 1850.(2) He himself is described as 'carpenter and builder' in Pettigrew and Oulton's directory for 1847, although he also appears as 'architect' in Thom's directory for 1845. In 1847 he was awarded first premium by Dublin Corporation for his design for Dublin baths and wash houses.(3) He was one of the earliest members of the Dublin Mechanics' Institute,(4) in which he always continued to take an active interest.(5) In 1851 he was selected as architect of the Mater Misericordiae Hospital and was authorized to visit England, Scotland, Belgium and France to inspect all the great hospitals in those countries.(6) Like this commission, almost all the works he carried out throughout his career were connected with the Catholic Church, and it was as a designer of churches, convents and related schools and institutions that he made his reputation.
Bourke died suddenly on 10 November 1871 in the consulting room of Dr Hayden of Harcourt Street, to whom he had gone on feeling unwell.(7) The description of his professional character in the obituary in the Irish Builder reinforces the impression that his early training was a practical one in the building trade: 'In his profession Mr Bourke was greatly esteemed by those with whom his associations brought him in contact. Gifted with talent of a high order, and particularly well versed in constructive architecture, he has been engaged upon numerous works throughout Ireland…We have often admired his specifications, which for their perspicuity, combined with brevity, could not be excelled, and which carefully express in short paragraphs what in other hands would occupy pages, yet from their wording, were impossible of being misinterpreted. Shrewd and intelligent to a degree in all difficult questions of constuctive building, his opinion was highly valued; and being of sterling honesty of purpose and of unswerving integrity, he was justice personified between contractor and client, and in this particular he had few equals, certainly none to surpass him.'(8) He was buried at Glasnevin cemetery on 14 November 1871.(9)
