E. C. P. Monson

Categories: Architecture

Architect. Born Edward Charles Philip Monson, son of architect Edward Monson, brother of architect Harry Castle Hiett Monson (1877-1961) and father of John Monson. Monson works were frequently products of a family partnership. Information from The Victorian Web.

An article in the Islington Gazette names 2 of Monson's works in Islington: 1922 Taverner Estate in Highbury Grange and 1936 Brecknock Road Estate (note the triangular bay windows).

The Islington Tribune article where we found this photo also has: "ECP lost his eldest son and his younger brother to the First World War ... As well as the Town Hall, built in 1925, and Islington’s first housing estate, Halton Mansions, ECP Monson designed the Sutton Dwellings, opposite the Town Hall; Masefield Court, near Newington Green; and Brecknock Road estate, all of which have stood the test of time."
