Sturgis, Russell (1836-1909)

US architect and architectural critic. He abandoned his architectural practice in 1880 after completing a series of buildings at Yale and became the foremost architectural critic of his day.

His monumental four-volume History of Architecture (1906-15) was unfinished at his death.

He was born in Baltimore, Maryland.
