Biography

Birth1837Henry Hudson Holly was born in 1837 in New York City, New York County, New York.1
Death4 September 1892He died on 4 September 1892 at 3 East Eighty-fourth St. in New York City, New York County, New York,1
Obituary7 September 18927 September 1892, New York City, New York County, New York, New York Times Obituary:. Henry Hudson Holly, an architect of note, died at his home, 3 East Eighty-fourth Street, on Sunday. He was fifty-five years old. The cause of his death was a complication of internal disorders, resulting from injuries received in a fall three years ago in a building, the erection of which he was supervising.

Mr. Holly was of an old Connecticut family, whose early members were among the founders of Stamford. His father removed to this city, and lived on Fifth Avenue when that was but a country road, and was an Alderman of this city between 1840 and 1850. Mr. Holly was the author of "Holly's Country Seats" and "Holly's Curch Architecture." He had been a member of the American Institute of Architects since it was founded, in 1857.

He confined his professional work to country residences and to churches. Among the noted structures that he designed or supervised is the residence of one of the leading mining men of Colorado, erected at a cost of $400,000 and the buildings of the university at Sewanee, Tenn. He did excellent service on the several committees of the American Institute and on those of the New-York chapter of the same organization.

For over a quarter of a century his office was in the Trinity Building in this city, but for the last few years he has been in partnership with Mr. Jelliff, a former employe [sic]. He leaves one son. The burial will take place from St. Luke's Chapel, Stamford, Conn.
