Russell Warren (1783-1860) was an American architect, best known for his work in the Greek Revival style. He practiced in Bristol and Providence. Warren was born in Tiverton, Rhode Island. He arrived in Bristol in 1800, and began to design and build unique Federal-style houses for the upper and middle class residents of that town.〔''Rhode Island: A Guide to the Smallest State''. 1937.〕 In 1823, Warren left Providence and went south to Georgetown, South Carolina, where he became a building contractor.〔Lewis, Catherine H. ''Horry County, South Carolina, 1730-1993''. 1998.〕 In 1826 Warren moved back to Rhode Island, opening an architect's office in Providence.〔"Warren, Russell, 1783-1860". ''http://www.riheritagehalloffame.org/''. n.d. Web.〕 In 1828, he collaborated with fellow Providence architect James C. Bucklin of Tallman & Bucklin in the design of the Westminster Arcade, designing the Westminster Street facade. He joined Tallman & Bucklin formally in 1830, the firm becoming Warren, Tallman & Bucklin. This firm was dissolved the following year, although they occasionally collaborated in later years.〔Jordy, William H. and Christopher P. Monkhouse. ''Buildings on Paper: Rhode Island Architectural Drawings, 1825-1945''. 1982.〕 Warren would become the foremost architect in southeastern New England, working as far away as Plymouth. For a few months in 1835 and 1836, Warren worked with Alexander J. Davis in New York, who had recently left his partnership with Ithiel Town. The Congregational Church in New Bedford was conceived under Davis at this time, but was built by Warren after he had returned to Providence. Warren continued in solo practice until 1846, when he took his son Osborn Warren as partner. The new firm was known as Russell Warren & Son, and lasted for two years, when Russell and Osborn are listed separately in the directory.〔''New-England Mercantile Union Business Directory''. 1849.〕 From then until his death, Warren practiced independently. His commissions waned in the 1850s, owing to the emergence of other architects such as Thomas A. Tefft and Alpheus C. Morse. Warren died in 1860. In 1842, at the dedication at New Bedford of Warren's new Parker House, the president of the corporation said of Warren and Providence, "Her architects have made it a “City of Palaces”; she has furnished us with hosts who will give to the world a stranger’s welcome."〔Medeiros, Peggy.
