Joseph C. Hoxie

Joseph C. Hoxie (14 August 1814 – 9 January 1870) was an American architect.[1]

Early life

He was born in Rhode Island.[1]

Career

Hoxie was trained to the buildings trade in Connecticut and was working in Hoboken, New Jersey, by 1840.[1]

He moved to Philadelphia and formed a partnership with his brother-in-law Stephen Decatur Button in 1848.[1] The partnership was dissolved in 1852 though they occasionally collaborated on some projects afterwards.[1]

In November 1852 Norris Garshom Starkweather started working for Hoxie and they became partners in 1854.[1] The partnership broke down and it was dissolved in July 1854.[1] The Court of common pleas records a case filed in August 1854 to divide the assets of the partnership though this case was not resolved in 1858.[1]

After returning to independent practice he designed railroad stations and churches.[1] Harrisburg station (built 1857, demolished 1877) and Arch Street Presbyterian Church are examples of his work.[1] He also designed Market Street Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg (1858-1860), a significant work of the Romanesque Revival in the U.S..[2]
