George Gwilt

George Gwilt (1746–1807), also sometimes known as George Gwilt the Elder, was an English architect of the late 18th and early 19th century, particularly associated with buildings in and around London.

His sons George and Joseph were also architects, training in his office in Southwark; John Shaw was also a pupil of 'George Gwilt & Sons'.
