John Humphreys Jones (?–1914)
Entry 51
London, England
After taking his Bachelor of Arts at London University, Jones began
an architectural career in 1877 as his father’s pupil. He studied drawing
at the North London School of Art, attended classes at the Architectural
Association, and passed his examination in 1892. Elected an Associate Member
of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1894, he went into partnership
in Hackney, London, probably with his brother Harry Evans Jones. He died
in March 1914.
Jones’ plan pictures the city as a stadium, with the entire city
encompassed in a huge oval south of the river, with a broad thoroughfare
leading from the railway station to parliament, which faces west into the
central oval.
