Biography[edit]
William Henry Hill was born on 24 June 1867 into an established family of Cork architects. His father, also named William Henry Hill, was himself the son William Hill.[1] Hill's uncles, Arthur Hill, and Arthur Richard Hill were architects, as was Henry Hill, brother of William and father of Arthur.[2] William Henry's cousin, Henry Houghton Hill, was also an architect.[3]
Hill spent three years studying in Queen's College Cork (now known as University College Cork), after which he apprenticed with his father, who made him a partner in his firm in 1899.[4] In 1907, Hill was made diocesan architect of the Diocese of Cork, Limerick and Cashel, a position he held for the following 30 years. He succeeded his father as consulting architect for the Cork Lunatic Asylum board.[4] He was also an engineer for the Cork and Muskerry Light Railway[5]
