From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Clarke Cabot (August 17, 1818 – January 5, 1901) was a Bsoston architect and watercolor painter.

Cabot was born to Samuel and Eliza (Perkins) Cabot. He married Martha Eunice Robinson on July 7, 1842, in Boston, and Louisa Winslow Sewall on October 13, 1873 in Melrose, Massachusetts.

He designed the Gibson House for widow Catherine Hammond Gibson and her son Charles Hammond Gibson, as well as the new building for the Boston Athenaeum between 1847 and 1849. After the opening of the Boston Athenaeum, he became a leading figure in Boston architectural circles. The Athenaeum was influenced by Charles Barry's Italianate club house in London. He is also noted for producing several distinguished Queen Anne Style houses in the 1870s.
