Davis, Alexander Jackson

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Davis, Alexander Jackson (1803–1892)

US architect. He favoured neoclassical styles and his multi-storey windows for public buildings became his signature. In the 1830s, he designed a number of state capitols. His publications and country villa designs greatly influenced US house design.

He was born in New York City and trained as an architectural illustrator. His books include Rural Residences (1837), and he made contributions to Andrew Jackson Downing's books (1839–50).
