Calvin Pollard
Calvin Pollard (June 14, 1797 - 1850) was a prominent New York City architect. He is known for his early design of the Brooklyn Borough Hall, the Petersburg courthouse, and numerous other schools and houses in the New York City area.
==Life and career==
Pollard was born in New Braintree, Massachusetts, the child of John Pollard and Kezia Heyward. His family moved to Cazenovia, New York in 1803 before moving to New York City in 1818.
Pollard designed the St. Paul's Episcopal Church and Rectory at Ossining, New York in 1834, now Calvary Baptist Church. In that same year, he won the contest to design the City Hall for Brooklyn. Construction began in 1836, but only the foundation had been laid when funds ran out. Nine years later, Gamaliel Kings revised Pollards plans and construction resumed, finally completing in 1848.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/html/resources/brook_boroughhall.shtml )〕
In 1836, Pollard built the Brandreth Pill Factory in Ossining, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Petersburg Courthouse in Petersburg, Virginia built between 1838 and 1840 is a Classical revival courthouse. It was part of the Siege of Petersburg during the Civil War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.virginia.org/site/description.asp?AttrID=14816 )〕 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
