Stanley Simmons (1872–1931) was an American architect. LifeHe was born in Charles County, Maryland in 1872, but came to Washington, DC as a child where he later established his career in architecture.[1] Simmons received his architecture degree at the University of Maryland, and later studied architecture at MIT.[2] He started designing and building houses in the 1890s, before he moved on to bigger commissions.[3] In 1902, the Evening Star described Simmons as "an architect who has added to the beauty and growth of this city."[1][4] His career spanned several decades from the 1880s to the 1930s during which time he established himself as an extremely prolific architect, designing more than 280 buildings in the city.[2] Simmons also worked with every major developer, though he appears to have had a particularly close working relationship with Lester A. Barr and later his son, John L. Barr with whom he designed some of his best known commissions.[2] Simmons was incredibly versatile, designing a variety of building types that ranged from row houses, to fraternal clubs, to commercial and institutional buildings, though he seems to have had a proclivity for apartment buildings, having designed over 60 of them. Of particular note on his resume are his designs for the National Metropolitan Bank Building at 15th and G Streets NW (1905), the Elks Club at 919 H Street NW (1908, demolished); and the Fairfax Hotel at 21st and Massachusetts Avenue NW (1921), in addition to the Wyoming Apartments and the Barr Building.[3] His earlier Hume School, built in 1891, is on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the National Metropolitan Bank Building, the Wyoming Apartments, and the Barr Building.[5] Although he never studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, B. Stanley Simmons became a student of the Beaux Arts tradition and the City Beautiful Movement. While his earlier 19th-century buildings (namely speculative row houses) reflect Victorian styles of architecture, his later early 20th-century buildings are grander and more monumental structures that reflect a variety of academic styles inspired the City Beautiful movement, including the Classical Revival style and Renaissance Revival.[2] Simmons passed away in 1931 at age 60, but as many of his buildings were recognized in the late 20th century, he was survived by a son, B. Stanley Jr., and 11 grandchildren.[1] References{{Commons category|B.
