Adams & Kelly was an architectural practice based at 18 Park Row, Leeds, Yorkshire, England.[1]It was a partnership between Richard Life Adams (1840–1883) and John Kelly (1840–1904).[2]
Works
Adams & Kelly's work includes the former Church Institute in Leeds, on the corner of Albion Place and Lands Lane,[3] a building in Gothic Revivalo style which was built between 1866 and 1868.[3] According to Leach and Pevsner it once had "a lecture hall for 800, a library with 10,000 volumes and walls painted with frescoes of the saints".[4] The building was converted for commercial and retail use in 1980.[3]
Adams & Kelly also designed several schools and churches, including St Martin's Church, Potternewton (1879–1881).[5] The church, just off Chapeltown Road, was built of stone from local quarries. The original design included a tall steeple, and building of the tower began in 1897, but it could not be completed as a weakness had developed in the foundations.[6]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Adams & Kelly also worked on the church of St Mary of Bethany, New Wortley, Leeds, which was completed by Kelly & Birchall. Built in 1885 at a cost of £5,600, it featured a spire of 135 feet and a brick lined interior. St Mary of Bethany was demolished in 1975.[7][8]
People
Adams & Kelly employed, as an assistant, John Leeming (1849–1931),[9] who in 1872 went into partnership with his brother Joseph as Leeming & Leeming,[10] and was responsible for the partial remodelling of the interior of Kinloch Castle[11] on the Isle of Rùm in Scotland.
Three years after the death of Adams, Kelly went into partnership with Edward Birchall as Kelly & Birchall.
