Biography

George David Hancock was born in the village of Uley in Gloucestershire, England. He was educated at South  Kensington  Institute in London,  England. He moved to Dakota  Territory in 1882, settling in Fargo, North Dakota with his brother Walter Benjamin Hancock (1863-1929), when they were 33 and 17, respectively. Walter Hancock attended Syracuse University where he graduated with a degree in architecture in 1889. [2] [3]

After a fire destroyed much of Downtown Fargo in 1893, George and Walter designed around half of the replacement buildings.[3] After advocating for a 1917 law requiring architects in North Dakota to be licensed, he and Walter became the first two licensed architects in the state. The firm of Hancock Brothers to also operated open a branch office at Bozeman, Montana.[4] [5] [3]
