Frank W. Angell (May 7, 1851 – December 16, 1943) was a prominent American architect who practiced primarily in Providence, Rhode Island.

Life and career

Born in Providence, Frank Wilson Angell was the son of Avery F. Angell, a dentist, and Cynthia (Day) Angell. 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 established himself as a principal designer and started accepting projects independently. In January 1881, he partnered with Thomas J. Gould, leaving the firm that eventually became William R. Walker & Son, to launch Gould & Angell. The partnership expanded in 1893 when Frank H. Swift joined, forming Gould, Angell & Swift. After Gould's retirement in 1897, the practice continued under the name Angell & Swift until Swift passed away in 1934. Following this, Angell reduced his workload but still undertook occasional commissions from his home office in Pawtuxet. At the time of his death, he held the distinction of being Rhode Island’s longest-practicing architect.

Frank W. Angell was related to architect Edward L. Angell, who worked in Providence and New York.
