Frank W. Angell (May 7, 1851 – December 16, 1943) was a prominent American architect who practiced primarily in Providence, Rhode Island.
Life and career
Frank Angell was born in Providence to Avery F. Angell, a professional dentist. Initially trained as a carpenter, he began his architectural career in 1872 as a draftsman with the Providence firm Walker & Gould. By 1880, Angell had advanced to lead designer and started accepting his own commissions. In 1881, he partnered with Thomas J. Gould to establish the firm Gould & Angell. This partnership grew in 1893 with the addition of Frank H. Swift, becoming Gould, Angell & Swift. Following Gould's retirement in 1897, the firm continued under the name Angell & Swift until Swift passed away in 1934. Afterward, Angell reduced his workload but continued occasional projects from his home office in Pawtuxet. At the time of his passing, he held the distinction of being Rhode Island’s longest-practicing architect.
He was also related to Edward L. Angell, an architect active in both Providence and New York.
