Charles Francis Douglas (b.1833) was an American architect from Maine. Douglas was born in 1833 in Brunswick, and was educated at the Foxcroft Academy. At the age of 18 he was apprenticed to a house-builder, with whom he remained for three years. While working as a carpenter, he independently studied architecture. In the 1860s he moved to Skowhegan where he opened in independent office. He remained there until his bankruptcy in 1869, and relocated his office to Lewiston by the following year. He left Maine for Philadelphia in 1873, apparently because of strains put on the architectural profession by the Panic of 1873. Upon arriving in Philadelphia, he gave up his practice.〔''C. F.
