Alexander F. N. Everett (April 13, 1880 - February 9, 1937), also known as A. F. N. Everett, was an American architect who designed many buildings in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, including some listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Everett was born on April 13, 1880, in Atlanta, Georgia. [1] [2] His father, A.R. Everett of Boston, Massachusetts, founded first wholesale jewelry firm in Atlanta; his mother was Lena Goldsmith of Charleston, South Carolina. [1]
Everett married Susie Griffin of Valdosta on January 19, 1901. [2] They resided at 1052 Dickson Place NE in Midtown Atlanta with their son, F. N. Everett. [1]
Everett was trained by G. L. Norman. [1] During 1900–1902, he worked with builder Stephen Fagan Fulgham in Valdosta, Georgia, and he returned to Atlanta by 1903. Everett remained in Atlanta as a practicing architect until his death in February 1937, at the age of 56. [2]
There exist contradictions between sources about Everett possibly working together with Alexander Campbell Bruce in the firm of Bruce and Everett, about whether it was A.F.N. Everett or a different person, Arthur Greene Everett, of Boston, who worked with Bruce. This source asserts it was Arthur Green Everett.
That firm for a time was known as Bruce, Everett, and Hayes, and Bruce was the senior partner. An Everett worked with Bruce by 1908. The partnership appears to have lasted through the design of three projects, built in 1906–1908. [3] [note 1]
Everett designed churches and apartment buildings in the Beaux-Arts style in the 1920s. [4] For example, he designed Druid Hills Courts in 1922. [5] Everett also designed private residences, like the Evans-Cucich House on Peachtree Battle Avenue in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood in the Art Deco style in 1934 for Hiram Wesley Evans. [4] [6]
Works of his (on his own or with others) include:
Everett died on February 9, 1937, in Atlanta, at age 56. [11] His funeral was held at the chapel of Awtry & Lowndes by a Church of Christ, Scientist minister, and he was buried in Oakland Cemetery. [11]
