John Douglas (11 April 1830 – 23 May 1911) was an English architect who designed about 500 buildings in Cheshire, North Wales and northwest England, in particular in the estate of Eaton Hall. He was trained in Lancaster and practised throughout his career from an office in Chester, Cheshire. Initially he ran the practice on his own, but from 1884 until two years before his death he worked in partnerships with two of his former assistants.

dbpprop:abstract
  • John Douglas (11 April 1830 – 23 May 1911) was an English architect who designed about 500 buildings in Cheshire, North Wales and northwest England, in particular in the estate of Eaton Hall. He was trained in Lancaster and practised throughout his career from an office in Chester, Cheshire. Initially he ran the practice on his own, but from 1884 until two years before his death he worked in partnerships with two of his former assistants. Douglas' output included new churches, restoring and renovating existing churches, church furnishings, new houses and alterations to existing houses, and a variety of other buildings, including shops, banks, offices, schools, memorials and public buildings. His architectural styles were eclectic. Douglas worked during the period of the Gothic Revival, and many of his works incorporate elements of the English Gothic style. He was also influenced by architectural styles from the mainland of Europe and included elements of French, German and Netherlandish architecture. However he is probably best remembered for his incorporation of vernacular elements in his buildings, in particular half-timbering, influenced by the black-and-white revival in Chester. Other vernacular elements he incorporated include tile-hanging, pargeting, and the use of decorative brick in diapering and the design of tall chimney stacks. Of particular importance is Douglas' use of joinery and highly detailed wood carving. Throughout his career he attracted commissions from wealthy landowners and industrialists, especially the Grosvenor family of Eaton Hall. Most of his works have survived, particularly his churches. The city of Chester contains a number of his structures, the most admired of which are his half-timbered black-and-white buildings and Eastgate Clock. The highest concentration of his work is found in the Eaton Hall estate and the surrounding villages of Eccleston, Aldford and Pulford.
  • 約翰·道格拉斯（英文：John Douglas，1830年4月11日－1911年5月23日），英國建築師，在北威爾斯柴郡和西北英格蘭設計了約五百棟建築，其中以伊頓別墅最著名。他在蘭開斯特受訓，從柴郡切斯特的辦公室開始他的生涯。最初他獨立經營，但從1884年、他過世前兩年開始，他與兩名助手一同合作。 道格拉斯的作品包括新建或修復現有的教堂、教堂裝飾與房屋等建築，包括商店、銀行、辦公室、紀念館與公共建設。他的建築風格屬於折衷主義。道格拉斯於哥德復興時期工作，而他的許多作品融入了英式哥德風格的元素。他也受到了歐洲大陸的建築風格的影響，包括法國、德國與荷蘭建築的元素。然而，他最為人周知的或許還是他的作品中對本土元素的結合，尤其是木造骨架，其受到切斯特的黑白復興的影響。其他道格拉斯所採用的本土元素包括掛瓦法、塗灰泥、菱形花紋裝飾磚的使用，以及高煙囪的設計。其中獨特而重要的一點，則是道格拉斯對細木與高度精細木雕的使用。 道格拉斯一生中常有富有的地主和企業家委託他打造建築，尤其是擁有伊頓別墅的古羅凡諾一家。他大多數的作品保存至今，特別是教堂。切斯特城市裡擁有道格拉斯為數不少的建築作品，其中最受推崇的便是他木造骨架的黑白建築，以及東門鐘塔。道格拉斯畢生的作品，則以伊頓別墅，以及艾克雷斯頓、艾浮德與波浮德四周的村莊所收藏的為數最多。
