Omagh Courthouse, County Tyrone, was completed in 1814

John Hargrave (c. 1788−1833) was an Irish architect who was active mainly in Ireland in the early 19th century.[1] Born in Cork c. 1788, Hargrave was the third son of architect Abraham Addison Hargrave (1755−1808).[2]

John Hargrave was responsible for the design of a number of manor houses in Ireland, including Castle Forbes (c. 1819), Doory Hall (c. 1820), Drenagh (c. 1825), and Favour Royal (1825).[3][4][5] A number of churches, gaols and courthouses are also attributed to him, including Omagh Courthouse (1814) and Mullingar Courthouse (1828).[5][6] His architectural practice had an office on Talbot Street in Dublin.[1]

Several other members of Hargave's family were also involved in architecture and construction, including his brother Abraham Addison Hargrave (d.1838).[2]

John Hargrave died, along with his wife and children, in a yachting accident in Cardigan Bay on 30 August 1833.[1]
