FITZGIBBON, ANTHONY CHRISTOPHER

Architect, of Cork. Anthony Christopher Fitzgibbon, who was probably a son of Daniel Fitzgibbon of Robertsville, Friars' Walk, Cork, was born on 9 June 1906. He trained in the office of O'FLYNN & O'CONNOR  FLYNN & O'CONNOR and was still working for O'Connor in 1929 after the partnership with O'Flynn had been dissolved. Although he was elected a student of the RIAI in 1927, he never became a member. Nothing is recorded of his later career, apart from the fact that he designed the Ritz Cinema in Washington Street, Cork, in 1939.(1) It is just possible that he is the Christopher Anthony Fitzgibbon, who was elected an associate of the RIBA in 1952 and was living in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) in 1957.(2)
