Stephen Codman AIA (1867–1944) was an American architect in practice in Boston from 1893 until his death in 1944.
Life and career[edit]
Stephen Russell Hurd Codman was born May 6, 1867 in Boston to Robert Codman, a wealthy lawyer, and Catherine (Hurd) Codman. He graduated from Harvard College in 1888, and spent the year of 1890–91 in the architecture school of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He then traveled to Europe, where he was admitted to the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He was a member of the atelier of [[Paul Blondel] until 1893, when he returned to Boston. With his former classmate, Arthur Wheelwright, he then formed the firm of Wheelwright & Codman, architects, which was dissolved shortly thereafter.[1] Codman then practiced alone until 1905, when he formed a partnership with Constant-Désiré Despradelle, a French architect whom Codman had collaborated with in the past. Despradelle died in 1912, but Codman continued the firm of Codman & Despradelle with several associates, including William Atkinson, Ralph D. Emerson, Israel P. Lord and W. S. Wells.[2] By the 1920s all but Emerson had left for other work, but Codman continued to practice under the name Codman & Despradelle until his death.[3]
