John Ashton (1860-1953) was an American architect from Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Life

Ashton was born in England in 1860, immigrating to the United States in 1875, where he settled in Lawrence.[1] He worked as a mechanic with Joseph James through at least 1889,[1] about the time be appears to have begun to study architecture.[2] He opened an office of his own in 1893. He quickly rose through the profession, and became a major competitor of the more-established George G. Adams, the city's leading architect.[3]

He was a sole practitioner until 1909, when he established a partnership with Albert Senter Huntress. The firm was expanded in 1920 to include John F. Alter.[4] Ashton, Huntress & Alter was dissolved in 1933, when Alter opened his own office.[5] Ashton and Huntress practiced together until 1943, when Ashton retired.[3] Huntress continued the firm, admitting Clarence A. Pratt to the partnership. Ashton, Huntress & Pratt was dissolved upon Pratt's death in 1955. Huntress' fate is unknown, but Ashton died in 1953.[1]

Legacy

Several buildings by Ashton and his firms are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
