Edward Salomons (1828–1906) was an English architect based in Manchester, active in the late 19th century.[1] He is known for his architecture in the Gothic Revival and Italianate styles.
His prominent commissions in Manchester include the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue (now the Manchester Jewish Museum) (1874),[2] the Manchester Reform Club (1870–1871),[3] described by Claire Hartwell, in her Manchester Pevsner City Guide, as Salomon's "best city-centre building",[4] and the former Manchester and Salford Trustee Savings Bank (1872).[5] In London, he assisted with the design of the Agnew Gallery on Old Bond Street (1876) and the New West End Synagogue (1863).[6]
In 1867, Salomons was among the eight finalists in the design competition for the new Manchester Town Hall. His entry was unsuccessful and the contract was awarded to Alfred Waterhouse.[7][8]
Among his buildings which have since been demolished are the Exhibition Hall, built for the 1857 Art Treasures Exhibition in Old Trafford, Manchester (demolished 1858),[9] and the Prince's Theatre in St Peter's Square, Manchester (opened 1864, closed 1940).[10][11]
