In 1859, Coverdale became architect for the construction of the Kingston Asylum. He oversaw the construction of Kingston's Town Hall from 1844 and prepared plans for rebuilding of the rear wing after it burned in 1865; the rebuilding was completed by his son William Miles Coverdale.〔 He drew up plans for several large residences and a number of churches still in use in Kingston today.
