George H. Guernsey (December 10, 1839 – November 28, 1900) was an American architect from Montpelier, Vermont.

Life

Guernsey was born on December 10, 1839, in Calais, Vermont, to Gilman and Clotina (Southwick) Guernsey.[1] He served in the Civil War, after which he relocated to Montpelier. After working as a builder, he established himself as an architect. He would go on to become the leading architect in Vermont.[2]

In 1897, he was elected as Montpelier's third mayor. He died of tuberculosis at home in 1900.[2] Guernsey was buried at Green Mount Cemetery in Montpelier.[3]

Legacy

Many of Guernsey's buildings contribute to historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places, in addition to one individual structure. In 2013, a book called Vermont's Elusive Architect: George H. Guernsey was published by the Bethel Historical Society, where Guernsey had designed the town hall. The book found Guernsey to be one of the most influential 19th century architects in Vermont.[4]
