Sir Raymond Unwin ( -1940) Architect
1940 Obituary [1]
We regret to have to record the death of Sir Raymond Unwin. He died while on a lecture tour in America at the age of seventy-six. An eminent architect and an authority on town planning, he is perhaps best known for his work in connection with the lay-outs of New Earswick Village, near York, for Letchworth Garden City, and for Hampstead Garden Suburb. During the war of 1914-18 he was Director of the Housing Branch of the Ministry of Munitions. He had a combined engineering and architectural training, and in 1923 was made Hon. Doctor of Technical Science of the University of Prague.
