George Clifton Haskell (1852 – 1925) was a noted and prolific Baltimore, Maryland-based architect. He married Martha Carson, sister of celebrated architect Charles L. Carson, whose firm launched Haskell's career, first as a draftsman[1]. By 1892 Haskell had formed his own firm, and in 1899 he was commissioned to design Grace-Hampden Methodist Episcopal Church, now on the national register of historic places[2]. Around 1905 he partnered with George Summerfield Barnes to form Haskell & Barnes[1], in some cases taking commissions to replace earlier Haskell commercial and industrial buildings recently destroyed in the Great Baltimore Fire. In 1912, they took a commission to expand and reimagine the Charles Carson designed Western National Bank, now listed on the National Resister as The Baltimore Grand[3].
In 1906 the Haskell designed a new Arts and Crafts influenced Shingle style home on Rogers Avenue in Mount Washington, and moved his family from Bolton Hill. An active member of the Methodist Congregation temporarily meeting in the Kelly Avenue Boy Scout Armory, Haskell was engaged ( by the very building committee on which he sat ) to design Elderslie United Methodist church at the corner of Pimlico Road and Elderslie Avenue ( now Ken Oak Rd. ), just steps from his home. In 1917 daughter Annie married and younger son Lee Carson died; subsequently the Haskells and elder son George Jr. moved to a farm property in Glyndon. George Clifton Haskell died at the farm in 1925[4].
