George Frederick Meacham (July 1, 1831 - December 4, 1917) was an architect in the Boston, Massachusetts, area in the 19th century. He is notable for designing Boston's Public Garden; the Massachusetts Bicycle Club; and churches, homes, and monuments in greater Boston and elsewhere in New England. He was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, to Giles Meacham and Jane Meacham.[1][2][3] He was graduated from Harvard College in 1853. After college he worked as a civil engineer for the Jersey City Water Works.[4] By 1855 he returned to Boston and worked for an architecture firm there. He practiced as an architect from 1857 through 1891, and in that time produced numerous designs.[4] People associated with the office of G.F. Meacham included Henry Martyn Francis,[5] George Pyne,[6] and Shepherd S. Woodcock.[7] Meacham married Mary Warren (d.1877) in 1859; they had two children who died very young.[4] Several years after the death of his first wife, he married Ellen Louisa Frost in 1881.[4]
