Jackson C. Gott (1828-7/9/1909) Baltimore, Maryland (F.A.I.A.)

A life-long citizen of Baltimore, he was born on the ancestral estate of his grandfather, William Cooke, near Lake Roland, in a house standing at the time of his death.

In his youth, Mr. Gott served as apprentice to a carpenter and master-builder in Baltimore, and afterward worked in the trade for a time, meantime studying architecture under private tutors. Opening an office to practice, he became a well-known member of the profession in his native state, engaged in planning both public and private buildings. Generally considered his most important works were the Johnson Building on North Howard Street in Baltimore; Masonic Temple, and the Peninsula Hospital at Salisbury; Western Memorial College at Westminster, and buildings for the Crown Cork and Seal Company at Highlandtown.
