Gender: Male
Frank Rushmore Watson (1859–1940) was a Philadelphia architect specializing in church architecture. He graduated from Central High School, Philadelphia, in 1877. Watson entered the office of Edwin Forrest Durang, an eminent architect concentrating on Roman Catholic church projects during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Watson spent five years with Durang before establishing his own independent firm in 1882 or 1883. While not limiting his practice to Roman Catholic projects, Watson still became well known for his church designs. So successful was he that he opened a branch office in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1898. In 1901 or 1902, when Samuel Huckel returned to Philadelphia, a partnership between the two was established under the name Watson & Huckel. Huckel's experience with Benjamin D. Price, another architect known for his church designs, as well as his experience with Edward Hazelhurst in the firm of Hazelhurst & Huckel stood the new partnership in good stead; and the office prospered until Huckel's death in 1917. Watson then continued practicing independently until 1922, when he was joined by the younger architects, George E. Edkins, and William Heyl Thompson. At the outset, this firm was one of association, but soon the name became Watson, Edkins & Thompson. When Edkins moved to Oaklyn, New Jersey in 1936, Watson & Thompson continued in practice until Watson's death in 1940.
