Charles F. Wilcox (1845–1905) was a prominent American architect who practiced in Providence, Rhode Island.
Life
Wilcox was born in Georgia in 1845, but his family relocated to Providence when he was an infant. He apprenticed with the local architect Charles P. Hartshorn and became his business partner in 1873. Their architectural firm, known as Hartshorn & Wilcox, remained active until 1879, shortly before Hartshorn passed away in 1880. Following this, Wilcox established his own practice, which he maintained until 1895. At that time, he joined forces with draftsman Gideon Gardner Congdon to create the firm Wilcox & Congdon. This collaboration ended in 1899, after which Wilcox returned to independent practice until his death in Providence in 1905.
