George W. Longstaff (1850-1901) was an American architect practicing in Bridgeport, Connecticut. George W. Longstaff was born in 1850 in England. In early life he relocated to the United States, eventually arriving in Bridgeport.〔''New York Herald'' 14 Jan. 1901: 12.〕 His education, training, and early career are unknown. Around 1885 he established the partnership of Longstaff & Hurd with Frank W. Hurd (1857-1915),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frank W Hurd (1857 - 1915) - Find A Grave Memorial )〕 a lumber and millwork dealer. In addition to designing buildings, the firm also dealt substantially in millwork and interior decoration. The firm was dissolved in 1894 after a bankruptcy, brought upon by the Panic of 1893. In 1895 Longstaff formed the G. W. Longstaff Company.〔Waldo, George Curtis. ''Standard's History of Bridgeport''. 1897.〕 This firm was succeeded in 1898 by G. W. & H.
