Theatre Architects

John and Benjamin Green were a father and son partnership who worked as architects in North East England during the early nineteenth century. John, the father, was a civil engineer as well as an architect. Although they did carry out some commissions separately, they were given joint credit for many of their projects, and it is difficult to attribute much of their work to a single individual.

In general, John Green worked on civil engineering projects, such as road and rail bridges, whereas Benjamin Green worked on projects that were more purely architectural. Their work was predominantly church and railway architecture, with a sprinkling of public buildings that includes their masterpiece, Newcastle’s Theatre Royal.
