Longstaff (1850-1901) was an American architect practicing in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Life and careerGeorge W. Longstaff was born in 1850 in England. In early life he relocated to the United States, eventually arriving in Bridgeport.[1] His education, training, and early career are unknown. Around 1885 he established the partnership of Longstaff & Hurd with Frank W. Hurd (1857-1915),[2] a lumber and millwork dealer. In addition to designing buildings, the firm also dealt substantially in millwork and interior decoration. The firm was dissolved in 1894 after a bankruptcy, brought upon by the Panic of 1893. In 1895 Longstaff formed the G. W. Longstaff Company.[3] This firm was succeeded in 1898 by G. W. & H. Longstaff, with Herbert Longstaff. Longstaff also often served as the contractor or builder on his designs. He died in New York City January 12, 1901.[1] Architectural worksLongstaff & Hurd, c.1885-1894
