J. B. and W. Atkinson

J. B. and W. Atkinson were English brothers who worked together as architects.

John Bownas Atkinson (1807 – 1874) and William Atkinson (1811 – 1886) were the sons of the architect Peter Atkinson. They were born in York, and J. B. went into partnership with his father in 1831. This was dissolved in 1833, but in 1837 J. B. instead formed a partnership with his younger brother. By around 1870, their office was based at No. 10 Lendal.[1] They designed a large number of buildings, chiefly in Yorkshire.[2] Nikolaus Pevsner later described them as "producing many accomplished Classical buildings and a few less-assured Gothic churches".[3] J. B. died in 1874, and in 1877, W. went into partnership with James Demaine.[2]

J. B. Atkinson was also the first person to serve as City Surveyor of York, from 1850 to 1854.[4]
