}}Edward Emmett Dougherty, a.k.a. Edwin Dougherty (March 18, 1876 – November 11, 1943) was an architect in the southeastern United States. One of his best known designs was the Tennessee War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville in 1922. The work won state and national design competitions.[1]

Early life

Edward Emmett Dougherty was born on March 18, 1876 in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] He graduated from the University of Georgia in 1895.[2] He then studied architecture at Cornell University and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.[2][3]

Career

As an architect, Dougherty partnered with Arthur Neal Robinson for a few years. He was also a partner in Dougherty & Gardner and in Dougherty, Wallace and Clemmons.[4]

During the second part of his career from 1916, Dougherty worked in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1917, he designed the Belle Meade Apartments in Belle Meade, Tennessee near Nashville, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[7] He also designed projects for the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad.Several buildings designed by Dougherty are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[5]

Tennessee War Memorial Auditorium

Dougherty received the contract for a 2,000 seat auditorium, Tennessee's War Memorial Building, now known as the War Memorial Auditorium (1922) in a "spirited competition" according to the Nashville Tennessean.[6] A jury of nationally-known architects devised a competition to narrow the competitors to six; three from Tennessee and three from out-of state. The designers were kept anonymous and the choice was made by a commission of local city fathers at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville on February 14, 1922. Dougherty's design was the unanimous choice.[6]

Personal life

Dougherty married Blanche Carson on June 5, 1907.{{cn|date=June 2018}}

Death

Dougherty died on November 11, 1943, at a Nashville Hospital at age 68.[2] He had suffered a heart attack at his apartment the night before.[2]
