Biographical Information

The firm Noland & Baskervill included William Churchill Noland (1865-1951) and Henry Eugene Baskervill (1867-1946). Noland, a native of Hanover County, Virginia, recieved his architectural training abroad. After working with Cope & Stewardson of Philadelphia, he began his own practice in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1891. Prior to establishing his own practice, Noland worked in the offices of Marion J. Dimmock. Henry Baskervill, a native of Richmond, studied at Cornell University, and became Richmond City Engineer ca. 1895. Noland and Baskervill formed their partnership in 1897 and won many important commissions, including the restoration and remodel of the Virginia State Capitol (with Noland & Baskervill, Fry & Chesterman, 1902-1906), Temple Beth Ahabah (1902-1094), and Negro Pavillion, Memorial Hospital (St. Phillip's Hospital) (1917-1920).
