Gordon W. Lloyd (18321905) was an architect of English origin, whose work was primarily in the American Midwest. After being tought by his uncle, Ewan Christian, at the Royal Academy, Lloyd moved to Detroit in 1858. Here he established himself as a popular architect of Episcopal churches and cathedrals in the region, mostly in the states of Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In addition to churches, Lloyd also designed several secular works, such as commercial buildings, residences and an insane asylum. Though his office was in Detroit, Lloyd lived across the river in Canada; in Windsor, Ontario.
