Hobart Upjohn

Hobart Upjohn (1876–1949) was an American architect, best known for designing a number of ecclesiastical and educational structures in New York and in North Carolina. He also designed a number of significant private homes. His firm produced a total of about 150 projects, a third of which were in North Carolina.
He was born in New York City in 1876, a son of Richard M. Upjohn (1828–1903) and grandson of Richard Upjohn (1802–1878). He received a degree in mechanical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1899. He worked in his father's firm until 1903 and then opened his own practice in 1905. He entered a partnership with George W. Conable (1866–1933) in 1908. That partnership ended in 1914. One of the works produced by the partnership was the 1909 Rye Town Park-Bathing Complex and Oakland Beach, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. He closed his practice in 1945 and died in 1949.
