History Notes:
Henry Forbes Bigelow (1867 – 1929) was a Boston, Massachusetts
architect in the firm Bigelow and Wadsworth. He became a partner in the
firm in 1898.
Bigelow was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, the son of Henry Nelson
Bigelow (October 6, 1839-January 15, 1907) and Clarissa Nichols
(Forbes) Bigelow. On October 14, 1896, he married Eliza Frothingham
Davis, (January 17, 1871-June 20, 1907), and then remarried Susan
Thayer (born October 1, 1885) on June 1, 1912 in Lancaster,
Massachusetts. His children by the first marriage were Henry Davis,
born Boston, Massachusetts, November 4, 1897; Edward Livingston, born
Boston, April 19, 1899; Chandler, born Milton, Massachusetts, July 21,
1900; and Nelson, born Milton, July 21, 1900. His child by the second
marriage was Eugen Thayer, born Boston, March 19, 1913.
It appears that Bigelow attended the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as issue no. 2 of its
Architectural Review included designs for a fountain by Henry Forbes
Bigelow and W. Proctor, Jr., as well as a design for opera boxes by
Henry F. Bigelow.
Works by Bigelow
Gilbertsville, New York's "The Gilbert Block" of 3, 6 and 9 Commercial
Street within the Historic District. The graceful and period revival
Tudor architecture was constructed between 1893-1895 to replace the
earlier commercial block destroyed by fire. The building are extant
today and still used for commercial purposes.
In 1887 fellow Boston architect William Ralph
Emerson created the Romanesque residence Tianderah in the same very
small Update New York village.
1. A biographical note on Bigelow states that "in the opinion of one of
his contemporaries, Mr. Bigelow probably contributed more to the
creation of charming and distinguished house interiors than any one
person of his time." (Henry F. Withey and Elsie Rathburn Withey,
Biographical Dictionary of American Architects, Deceased, Los Angeles:
New Age, 1956, p. 57.) In 1913-1914 he renovated the Boston Athenaeum,
adding two new floors.
I recently visited the Hyde Collection in Glens
Falls, NY.
