Peter Ellis (architect)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Ellis was a 19th century Liverpool architect.

He designed the revolutionary Oriel Chambers in 1864 at the corner of Water Street and Covent Garden in Liverpool, said by some to be the finest building in Liverpool and one of the most influential buildings of its age.[citation needed]

Ellis's only other commission was 16 Cook Street, Liverpool, of 1866.

He died of a stomach ulcer on June 6, 1888.

Ellis' buildings influenced the later work of the US architect John Wellborn Root, who lived in Liverpool for a period.[citation needed]
