Shaw, Richard Norman 1831-1912
English architect
Born in Edinburgh, he worked with his partner William Eden Nesfield (1835-88) in many styles ranging from Gothic Revival to neo-Baroque, and became an acknowledged leader in the revival of Georgian design, which found expression in the English Domestic Revival. His major buildings include the Old Swan House, Chelsea (1876), New Scotland Yard (1888), the Gaiety Theatre, Aldwych (1902, now demolished), and the Piccadilly Hotel (1905). He also designed the garden suburb at Bedford Park, London.
