Encyclopedia
Emmanuel Louis Masqueray (1861-1917) was a Franco-American
preeminent figure in the history of American architecture
, both as a gifted designer of landmark buildings and as an influential teacher of the profession of architecture.
, France
, on September 10, 1861 to Charles-Emmanuel and Henriette-Marie-Louise Masqueray, née de Lamare. He was educated in Rouen
and Paris
. Having decided to become an architect, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris, as a pupil of Jean-Claude Laisné and Paul-René-Léon Ginain, and was awarded the Deschaumes Prize by the Institute of France. He also received the Chandesaigues Prize. While in Paris, he also served on the Commission des Historiques.
in 1887 to work for the firm of Carrère and Hastings
in New York City
; both John Mervin Carrère (November 9, 1858 – March 1, 1911) and Thomas Hastings
(1860 - 1929) had been fellow students with Masqueray at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. While in their employ, Masqueray created the watercolor elevation of the Ponce de Leon Hotel
in St. Augustine, Florida
. Other important work on the boards during his time with the firm included the Hotel Alcazar, St. Augustine, Florida, 1887, now the Lightner Museum
, The Commonwealth Club
, Richmond, Virginia
, 1891, and the Edison Building, New York City, 1891 (razed). Five years later, he joined the office of Richard Morris Hunt
(1827-1895), the first American architect to attend the Ecole des Beaux Arts; in Hunt's firm he helped design many notable buildings including the Elbridge Gerry
residence in Marblehead, MA, the William Astor house on Fifth Avenue in New York City, and Ochre Court
in Newport, Rhode Island
. It is likely that he made major contributions to the design of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in New York City. He also contributed to the design of The Breakers
for Cornelius Vanderbilt II
in Newport, Rhode Island
.
In 1893, Masqueray opened the Atelier Masqueray, for the study of architecture according to French methods; architect Walter B. Chambers
shared in this enterprise. Located at 123 E. 23rd Street, this was the first wholly independent atelier opened in the United States. A colorful, dynamic teacher, Masqueray pleaded with his students to make things simple. Beginning in 1899, Masqueray made special provision for women to number among his architectural students by establishing a second atelier especially for women at 37-40 West 22nd Street in New York. As was said at the time, "...he has unbounded faith in women's ability to succeed in architecture...provided they go about it seriously."
Among his students over the next decade in New York were:
In 1897, Masqueray left the Hunt office to work for Warren & Wetmore, also in New York City, Whitney Warren
having been his fellow student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. Work underway while Masqueray was with the firm includes: New York Yacht Club (1898), Westmorly, Harvard, MA (1898), High Tide (William Starr Miller house), 79 Ocean Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, (1900), The Racquet House at Tuxedo Club, Tuxedo Park, NY, (1890-1900), and the Mrs. Orme Wilson residence (now the India Consulate), 3 East 64th St., New York (1900-03). He was responsible for the design of the Long Island College Hospital
in Brooklyn.
selected him to be Chief of Design. Masqueray in turn employed some of his former students including Frank Swales and George Nagle. As Chief of Design of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
, a position he held for three years, Masqueray had architectural oversight of the entire Fair and personally designed the following Fair buildings:
Design ideas from all of these were widely emulated in civic projects across the United States as part of the City Beautiful Movement
. Masqueray resigned shortly after the fair opened in 1904, having been invited by Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul to come to Minnesota and design the new Cathedral of Saint Paul in Saint Paul for the city.
Masqueray arrived in St. Paul in 1905 and remained there until his death. He designed about two dozen parish churches for Catholic and Protestant congregations in the upper Midwest, including:
Mssqueray designed several small churches in what is now the Diocese of New Ulm.
And in the Diocese of Dubuque in Iowa.
He also designed three more cathedrals, of which two were built:
Masqueray also designed important residences in and around St. Paul (one of which, a 1915 home at 427 Portland Avenue, has been owned by radio personality Garrison Keillor
) and "Wind's Eye" in Dellwood MN, as well as several parochial schools for the Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul.
He also designed:
In St. Paul in 1906, Masqueray founded an atelier which continued his Beaux Arts method of architectural training, among his students who trained there, perhaps the best known is Edwin H. Lundie (1886-1972). Other architects associated with Masqueray in St. Paul were Fred Slifer and Frank Abrahamson.
Masqueray was a charter member of the Society of Beaux-Arts Architects (now the Van Alen Institute) and the Architectural League of New York
, the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects
, as well as the national organization. Masqueray died in St. Paul on May 26, 1917. His body was buried in Calvary Cemetery, St. Paul.
