T. Firth Lockwood Explained

Thomas Firth Lockwood was the name of two architects in the U.S. state of Georgia, the father and son commonly known as T. Firth Lockwood Sr. (1868-1920) and T. Firth Lockwood Jr. (1894-1963). Thomas Firth Lockwood Sr. came with his brother Frank Lockwood (1865-1935) to Columbus, Georgia, from New Jersey to practice architecture.^[1]

A number of their works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their architecture.Works include (with attribution which is sometimes ambiguous):

Firth Lockwood, Jr., but he would have been only about 12 years old, so more likely it was designed by T. Firth Lockwood, Sr., age 38 or so then.)
