Information on designer. Frank Lockwood and His Architectural Legacy By John B. Scott, Jr. If you live in Alabama, you've probably seen his work, but chances are you don't know his name. He had the air of an Englishman, a certain charm with the ladies, and a voice so talented he drew the attention of the Metropolitan Opera. But Frank Lockwood is perhaps best remembered for designing some of the most impressive and important buildings in the state. The Montgomery Federal Building, a site of landmark civil rights court cases, is his legacy. So is the renovated State Capitol, as well as numerous other public and academic buildings throughout Alabama, not to mention dozens of churches and historic homes. In the Winter 2002 issue of Alabama Heritage, John B. Scott, Jr., traces the prolific career of one of Alabama's most notable architects. From Lockwood's sketchy educational background to his controversial work habits, Scott introduces the man whose life was no less remarkable than the buildings he left behind. For anyone interested in Alabama's rich architectural heritage, this is a must-read.
