Thomas Henry Wyatt (9 May 1807 – 5 August 1880) was an Anglo-Irish architect.〔Obituary in ''Builder'' ''get proper citation''〕 He had a prolific and distinguished career, being elected President of the Royal Institute of British Architects 1870–73〔APSD entry〕 and being awarded its Royal Gold Medal for Architecture in 1873.〔List provided by RIBA〕 His reputation during his lifetime was largely as a safe establishment figure, and critical assessment has been less favourable more recently, particularly in comparison with his younger brother, the better known Matthew Digby Wyatt. ==Personal and family life== Wyatt was born at Lough-Glin House, County Roscommon. His father was Matthew Wyatt (1773–1831) a barrister and police magistrate for Roscommon and Lambeth. Wyatt is presumed to have moved to Lambeth with his father in 1825 and then initially embarked on a career as a merchant sailing to the Mediterranean, particularly Malta. He married his first cousin Arabella Montagu Wyatt (1807–1875). She was the second daughter of his uncle Arthur who was agent to the Duke of Beaufort. This consolidated his practice in Wales.〔(Thomas Henry Wyatt ), DSA Architect Biography Report, accessed December 2011〕 He lived at and practised from 77 Great Russell Street. He died there on 5 August 1880 leaving an estate of £30,000. He is buried at Weston Patrick. The Wyatts had been a significant architectural dynasty across the eighteenth and nineteenth century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Henry Wyatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
