Biography

Timothy Francis Walsh was born November 8, 1868, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to James Walsh and Hanna Shea. His brother, James Anthony Walsh, was the co-founder of Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers.

Walsh attended The English High School in Boston and graduated in 1886. In 1887, Walsh worked as a draftsman for Peabody and Stearns and worked at the firm until 1893 when he left to study in Europe.^[1] He studied in Paris atiliers, where received his professional education.^[2] Walsh returned to Boston in 1895 and formed a partnership named Walsh & Kearns which lasted for about a year. From 1896 to 1897, Walsh worked as a solo practitioner, and in 1898 went into partnership with Charles Donagh Maginnis and Matthew Sullivan named Maginnis, Walsh and Sullivan. This partnership lasted until 1905, when Sullivan left the partnership. Maginnis and Walsh remained partners of the firm under the name Maginnis & Walsh until Walsh's death in 1934.^[1][3]

Journalist Lucien Price wrote that Walsh "was a remarkable designer, a water colorist of distinction, one of several famous architects trained in the office of Peabody and Stearns, and a lover no less of life than of his art."^[4] Walsh was chairman and president of the Boston Board of Appeal. He was also a member of the Boston Society of Architects, the Boston Architectural Club, and the Charitable Irish Society of Boston.^[5] Walsh became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1901 and was elected a fellow in 1925.

In 1899, Walsh married Marian Adams Wright and together had three daughters and a son. Walsh died on July 7, 1934, at his summer home in North Scituate, Massachusetts, and was buried at Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline, Massachusetts.^[2][5]
