Haxby & Gillespie was an architectural firm from Fargo, North Dakota. R. J. Haxby and William D. Gillespie were the partners. [1] The firm "produced a number of important buildings throughout North Dakota." They designed many notable public, educational, commercial, and church buildings, in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. [1]
Prior to coming to Fargo, R. J. Haxby was a practicing architect in New York City and Superior, Wisconsin. He moved to Fargo late in 1905 after a young architect, William D. Gillespie, advertised for a business partner to take over the practice of his recently deceased brother-in-law, William C. Albrant . [2]
In early 1906 Haxby and Gillespie reorganized Albrant's firm as R. J. Haxby & Company. [3] In September 1906 the firm was renamed Haxby & Gillespie. [4] They remained together until 1916, when Gillespie established his own office. [5] Haxby's firm became Haxby & Braseth, which it remained until the end of 1917, as Haxby had died in August. [3] It was succeeded by Braseth & Rosatti. [6]
Gillespie later retired from architecture and founded a bank, the Gate City Savings and Loan, which became prominent in the state. [5]
R. J. Haxby's son, Robert V. L. Haxby, was an architect in Minneapolis, where he was a partner in the firms of Stebbins & Haxby, Stebbins, Haxby & Bissell, and Haxby & Bissell. He was appointed Minneapolis' school board architect in 1915. [7]
