Francis Chambers


Francis Chambers (1828/1829-30 November 1900) was a British architect, active in London.

Chambers was the architect of the Dog and Duck, a Grade II listed public house at 18 Bateman Street, Soho, London, built in 1897 for Cannon Brewery. The pub is reportedly where George Orwell had a celebratory drink after Animal Farm was picked as the American Book of the Month Club.

Chambers died 30 November 1900 in Broadstairs, Kent.

His son, F. J. Chambers was also an architect, who was trained by his father, then became his partner and had a long career.
