A biography of this architect by Talbot Hamlin gives detailed descriptions of his early projects, such as the Hammerwood Lodge, which he designed as a hunting residence for John Sperling. The only other surviving domestic residence by him is the Ashdown House at Forest Row in Sussex. He studied under Samuel Cockerell and John Smeaton, the designer the Eddystone Lighthouse. He's associated with a city where he designed the Fairmount Water Works, though he left there to work on a cathedral with two turrets commissioned by John Carroll. In addition to that work, the Baltimore Basilica, he's well known for adapting the plans of William Thornton after being named Surveyor of Public Buildings in 1803. Upon resigning from that project, he was succeeded by Charles Bulfinch.
