Frank Lyman Austin (1874-1942) was an American architect from Burlington, Vermont. Frank Lyman Austin was born in Burlington in 1874 to Zachary T. Austin, a local contractor.〔''New England Families: Genealogical and Memorial''. Ed. William Richard Cutter. Vol. 2. 1914.〕 The Austin firm went back to around 1865, when Frank's grandfather, Lyman, established himself as a carpenter. Frank Austin worked in his father's office, and trained as an architect. In 1904, he left his father's firm and opened an office on his own account. Upon his father's death in 1910, Austin completed the leftover work and absorbed the firm's assets.〔(Champlain School NRHP Nomination ). 1982.〕 Austin's first significant work was the Champlain School of 1909, in Burlington. These small-scale beginnings soon grew into a large office, which resulted in the design of some of the city's (and state's) largest buildings. Eventually, Austin served as Vermont's state architect. In 1939, Austin's son, Lyman Dinsmoor Austin, became a partner in the firm. Upon Austin's death in 1942, his son dissolved the firm and left Burlington.〔 Austin & Austin had been the oldest architectural firm in the state.〔Lamb, Wallace E. ''The Lake Champlain and Lake George Valleys''. 1940.〕 Austin was the architect of several buildings that have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as several others that are contributing buildings to listed historic districts. ==Selected works== Frank Lyman Austin, 1904-1939: * Masonic Temple, 58 Bridge St., Richmond, Vermont. 1908.〔''American Architect and Building News'' 19 Aug. 1908: 17.〕 * Champlain School (Old), 817 Pine St., Burlington, Vermont. 1909.〔 * Masonic Temple, 51 Washington St., Rutland, Vermont. 1910.〔''Engineering Record'' 13 Nov. 1909: 44.〕 * National Bank of Middlebury Building, 32 Main St., Middlebury, Vermont. 1910.〔''Engineering Record'' 5 Feb. 1910: 67.〕 * New Sherwood Hotel, 29 Church St., Burlington, Vermont. 1910.
