Biography
Francis Richmond Allen was born November 22, 1843, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the son of Frederick Deane Allen and Mary Richmond Baylies. Allen was descendant of John Alden and William Mullins, both passengers on the Mayflower and signers of the Mayflower Compact. Allen attended Boston Latin School and graduated from Amherst College in 1865 with a Bachelor of Arts. He was a member of the Gamma chapter of the Psi Upsilon fraternity.

After graduating from college, Allen worked for his father as a dry goods merchant in Boston and New York from 1865 to 1876. Allen studied architecture the the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1876, Allen became an architect in Boston partnering with Herbert Phipps Kenway which lasted from 1878 to 1891. From 1896 to 1898/1902, Allen partnered with Joseph McArthur Vance.

Allen married Elizabeth Bradlee Wood, a descendant of Tristram Coffin, on June 22, 1879 and had a daughter, Dorothy Allen.

Allen received an honorary Master of Arts from Williams College in 1905 "for the achievement of the Memorial Library at Vassar and the Memorial Chapel at Williams." He was also awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Amherst College in 1912.

Allen was a member of the American Institute of Architects, the International Congress of Architects, the Boston Society of Architects, The Boston Society of Colonial Wars, the Society of Mayflower Descendants, and the New England Historic Genealogical Society. He was also a life member of The Bostonian Society.
