Robert Richardson Banks


Robert Richardson Banks was a notable English architect of the mid 19th century who worked for many years in partnership with Charles Barry.
Banks was a pupil of William Atkinson before he joined the practice of Barry's father, Sir Charles Barry.

Partnership

The Banks and Barry Partnership was established in 1847 when Charles junior left his father's practice with Banks, then senior assistant in the practice. For a time, the partnership was based at 27 Sackville Street, London. The pair managed numerous projects in London and East Anglia. The partnership was dissolved upon Banks's death in 1872. Sir Aston Webb was a pupil in the practice from 1866 to 1871.
