George Gilbert Scott, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Gilbert Scott, Jr. (1839 – 1897) was an English architect. He was the son of Sir George Gilbert Scott, brother of John Oldrid Scott and father of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and Adrian Gilbert Scott, all also architects.
Among the buildings he designed was St John the Baptist Church, Norwich, which was later to become a cathedral. He was also responsible for buildings in the Cambridge colleges of Christ's and Pembroke.[1] He also masterminded the main buildings of Dulwich College in South London.
Scott was an alcoholic and suffered mental ill health. He died from cirrhosis of the liver in a bedroom of the Midland Grand Hotel, which was designed by his father.
