History
Robert Phillips Whellock (1835-1905) lived in Catford; later in Finsbury Pavement, EC, and Chadwell Heath, Essex. He was elected an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1879.
Amongst his architectural works were: the design for the billiard room, Polapit Tamar, Launceston, the interior of which was illustrated in The Builder, 2 April 1904; several houses in Launceston; the Central Public Library, Peckham Road, Camberwell, 1892-3; the Mission Hall, Peckham, 1894; the Relief Station, Peckham Park Road, for the Camberwell Guardians, 1896; and the Public Free Library, Old Kent Road, 1896.
In 1901 he published a treatise entitled Pure Water for London, which described his project for supplying water from below the London basin. In connection with the scheme, he exhibited some drawings in the Royal Academy rooms in 1900. For an obituary see The Builder vol. 88 (1905) p.602.
