Contents clean and bright. Henry Heathcote Statham (11 January 1839 - 29 May 1924) was an English architect, architectural journalist and editor, and music critic. In 1884, he became editor of The Builder ("then one of the most important influences on architecture throughout the British Empire"), retaining the post until 1908, during which time he designed the fronts of the magazine's office and its neighbours at 2-6 Catherine Street in 1903. He contributed papers to the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Architectural Association, of which he was a member. He was a notable critic, in 1916, of the design of London's Tower Bridge, saying "it represents the vice of tawdriness and pretentiousness, and of falsification of the actual facts of the structure".
