COMPETITIONS

(entries for projects in the United Kingdom and North America)

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, St. Thomas Church, 1849. The firm of Fuller & Gingell was one of 30 architects who submitted designs for this project. The jury selected six entries which were designated as finalists including the entry from Fuller & Gingell, but S.W. Daukes of Cheltenham was later declared as the winner (Builder [London], vii, 29 Dec. 1849, 617)
BRISTOL, ENGLAND, Bristol General Hospital, 1852. The office of Fuller & Wilson of Bath was one of 23 firms who submitted proposals for this large institutional project (Builder [London], x, 2 Oct. 1852, 624), and the design likely came from the hand of Fuller, not Wilson. The Bath architect W.B. Gingell, who was formerly a partner with Fuller, and who was then working independently, was declared the winner.
KINGSTON-ON-THAMES, SURREY, Cambridge Military Asylum, Norbiton Park, 1852. The firm of Wilson & Fuller of London submitted an entry, but their scheme was set aside in favour of the winning design by Thomas Allom (Builder [London], x, 6 March 1852, 156; 8 May 1852, 289)
OTTAWA, ONT., Government House, a residence for the Governor General, 1859. As part of the competition for new Government buildings at Parliament Hill, Fuller & Jones submitted an imposing classical design for this palatial residence. Their proposal, among the 10 entries, was awarded Second Prize. A perspective view of their design was reproduced in Carolyn Young, The Glory of Ottawa: Canada's First Parliament Buildings, 1995, 65, illus. The winning design by Cumberland & Storm of Toronto was never built.
SIMCOE, ONT., Norfolk County Court House, 1863. Fuller & Jones of Ottawa were one of 12 firms that submitted designs for this county Court House (Brant Expositor [Brantford], 5 June 1863, 2, report on the competition). Their proposal was passed over in favour of the winning scheme by John Turner of Brantford.
SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, The State Capitol Building, 1867. While living in Albany, Fuller was one of at least eight architects who submitted a design for the new $3 million State Capitol building (Henry-Russell Hitchcock & William Seale, Temples of Democracy: The State Capitols of the U.S.A., 1976, 169). The winner was John C. Cochrane of Chicago.
PHILADELPHIA, PENN., City Hall, Broad Street at Market Street, 1869. Ten architectural firms submitted drawings for this major American building, including one from the San Francisco office of Fuller & Laver, who collaborated with the Philadelphia architect Henry Sims. Their design was awarded Third Prize of $1,000, with John McArthur Jr. later selected as the winner (Evening Telegraph [Philadelphia], 13 Sept. 1869, 8, list of competitors; and 28 Sept. 1869, 3, announcement of prizes)
HARTFORD, CONN., State Capitol Building, 1871. The San Francisco firm of Fuller & Laver were one of five architects invited to submit designs for the new State Capitol. Their drawings failed to arrive by the deadline of 1 January 1872 due to a snowstorm in Rocky Mountains. All five submissions were later rejected, but each architect, including the firm of Fuller & Laver, was given a sum of $1,000 for their trouble. A new competition was called in early 1872 with eleven entrants but, for unexplained reasons, Fuller & Laver were excluded from the invitation list for this second round (Henry-Russell Hitchcock & William Seale, Temples of Democracy: The State Capitols of the U.S.A., 1976, 159-64, illus.). The commission was eventually awarded to Richard Upjohn of New York City.
