William Henry White

FRIBA (29 January 1838 – 20 October 1896) was a British architect,[1] as well as 18 years secretary of the Royal Institute of British Architects.[2][3]

Early career

On the completion of his articles in London with

Charles Alfred Chastel de Boinvile.[4]

Following the outbreak of the

The Builder, 23 March 1878), the Monument to Chief Justice Sir John Norman (assassinated 1871), and the Presidency College. After travelling in India and on the Continent, White returned to London and took up journalistic work, contributing articles to The Builder. About this time he was appointed the Examiner in Architecture at the Royal Indian Engineering College
, Cooper's Hill, a post be occupied for about two years.

RIBA Secretaryship

The Secretaryship of this Royal Institute became vacant in 1878 through the retirement of Charles Eastlake, the present Keeper and Secretary of the National Gallery. White gained the post, and served his time eighteen years—an era in the progress of the Institute marked by increased influence at home and abroad, and a necessarily more extended system of administration.

Works

In 1892, he published "The Architect and his artists, an essay to assist the public in considering the question is architecture a profession or an art",

T. G. Jackson
.

This had been part of the course of events which resulted in the passing of the

prosecution
for infringement.

The keeping of the Register of Architects is now governed by the Architects Act 1997, and the name of the body responsible for the Register has been changed from the Architects' Registration Council of the United Kingdom (ARCUK) to the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
