Frank W. Angell (May 7, 1851 – December 16, 1943) was an American architect who practiced primarily in Providence, Rhode Island.
Life and career
Frank Angell was born in Providence to Avery F. Angell, a dentist. Initially trained as a carpenter, he began working as a draftsman for the Providence architectural firm Walker & Gould in 1872. By 1880, Angell had established himself as a prominent designer and started accepting independent commissions. In January 1881, he partnered with Thomas J. Gould to create the firm Gould & Angell. The company expanded in 1893 when Frank H. Swift joined, becoming Gould, Angell & Swift. After Gould retired in 1897, the practice continued under the name Angell & Swift until Swift passed away in 1934. Following this, Angell entered semi-retirement but still undertook occasional projects from his office located at his Pawtuxet residence. At the time of his death, he held the distinction of being Rhode Island's longest-practicing architect.
Frank W. Angell was related to Edward L. Angell, an architect active in Providence and New York.
