Jackson, Robertson & Adams

Jackson, Robertson & Adams was an architectural firm out of Providence, Rhode Island. Established in 1912, it was originally made up of architects F. Ellis Jackson (1879-1950), Wayland T. Robertson (1873-1935), and J. Howard Adams (1876-1924).

Prior to founding this firm, Jackson worked with Providence architect Howard K. Hilton. He was promoted to partner in 1902, the name being Hilton & Jackson. Upon Hilton's death in 1909, Jackson continued on alone under the Hilton & Jackson name. In 1911, Jackson formed the firm of Jackson & Robertson with Wayland T. Robertson. The next year, they added J. Howard Adams to make Jackson, Robertson & Adams. Both Robertson and Adams had had private practice prior to becoming members of the firm.

The firm designed numerous Colonial Revival buildings around the state, and rank with Rhode Island's best architecture. Beginning in the 1930s, Jackson, Robertson & Adams became one of the few architects in the state to work in the Art Deco style. While they had a specialty in private residences, they also designed notable civic and commercial buildings.

The Jackson, Robertson & Adams name was retained until 1956, when the then two partners, George Fraser and Raymond J. Henthorne, renamed it Fraser & Henthorne. This firm was dissolved in 1961.
