Joseph Oswald
Joseph Oswald (19 March 1851 - 15 January 1930)[1] was a British architect.
Early life
He was the son of fellow architect Septimus Oswald.[1] He was educated at Newcastle Grammar School, and then articled to his father, before becoming his assistant.[1]
S. Oswald & Son
From 1876-91, he was in partnership with his father as S. Oswald & Son, and later with his son Harold Oswald (1874-1938).[1]
His son Gilbert Oswald later joined the practice. After the death of Harold in 1938 and Gilbert in 1945, the practice was continued by various other partners including James Reid. The firm designed a number of public houses, and Harold Oswald specialised in designing race courses.[2]
Buildings
He was the architect of The Victoria, an 1899 Grade II listed public house at 86 Hallgarth Street, Durham DH1 3AS.[3] It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[4]
As well as designing pubs for Newcastle Breweries, he was the architect of their plush offices there in Haymarket in 1901, as well as their stores and stables.[5]
