Dictionary of Irish Architects 1720 - 1940

Architect, of Dublin. Nothing is known about Farrell's early life and training. He may be the person of the same name who was clerk to ROBERT WOODGATE  ROBERT WOODGATE and FRANCIS JOHNSTON  FRANCIS JOHNSTON at the Board of Works from 1801 until he was dismissed in 1810.(1) He is recorded as having taken SINCLAIR BATES  SINCLAIR BATES as an apprentice in 1809, and JOHN LOUCH  JOHN LOUCH in 1813.(2) His first appearance in Wilson's Dublin Directory is in 1812, when his address is given as 61 Queen Street. He became a freeman of the City of Dublin as a member of the Guild of Carpenters at Michaelmas 1816.(3)  By 1814 or earlier he had become architect to the Incorporated Society for Promoting English Protestant Schools in Ireland.(4)  In 1823, after the death of JOHN BOWDEN JOHN BOWDEN , when the responsibilities of architect to the Board of First Fruits were divided between several architects, he was given charge of the ecclesiastical province of Armagh.(5) He retained this position after the Board was replaced by the Irish Ecclesiastical Commission in 1839 and remained in it until the Commission was reorganized with a single architect, JOSEPH WELLAND JOSEPH WELLAND , in 1843.(6) In 1840 Farrell and FREDERICK DARLEY  FREDERICK DARLEY reported on GEORGE PAPWORTH' GEORGE PAPWORTH' s plans for the Royal Dublin Society.(7)

William Farrell died towards the end of 1851.(8)   He had married Amelia Ann Dugood on 6 August 1808,(9) by whom he had several children, including Sarah (baptised 1809), FRANCIS JAMES FARRELL  FRANCIS JAMES FARRELL (baptised 1810), Arthur Thomas, who was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, in 1830 at the age of seventeen,(10) and Frederick (baptised 1829).  During the 1830s he took Francis James into partnership.(11) He was one of several architects to be attacked in the satirical poem, 'An Essay on the Rise and Progress of Architectural Taste in Dublin…by Nicolson Numskull, Esq.' which was published in 1832:(12) 'With rosy gills - round as a little barrel, A first fruits architect - see Billy F-rr-ll, Who thrives and fattens on anothers brains, He toils and labours - Billy counts the gains.'

In addition to Sinclair Bates and John Louch, Farrell's pupils and assistants included JAMES JOSEPH MCCARTHY JAMES JOSEPH MCCARTHY , PARKE NEVILLE  PARKE NEVILLE and SANDHAM SYMES. SANDHAM SYMES. (13)

An album of designs by William Farrell on paper watermarked 1814 and 1817 is in the Houghton Library, Harvard University, ref. RAN 1/N/4.(14) Plans, sections and elevations by Farrell for outbuildings at Glanmore Castle, Co. Wicklow, 1815, are in the IAA, Acc. 88/90.
