Early life and education
Jackson was born 1861 in Waterbury, Connecticut and studied in the public schools of the city. After High school he studied for one year at St. Francis College, Brooklyn, New York. Having decided to make architecture his profession, he worked first with Albert M. West, and afterward with Robert W. Hill (1881–1887). Thereafter, he started his own firm with offices in Waterbury.
Architectural practice
At first Jackson worked on a large number of public buildings, including the Bank Street and Clay Street schools, the convents of Notre Dame and St. Mary, St. Patrick's hall, the new High school, the Judd building, and the Bohl building, all in Waterbury, CT. Around 1900 when he moved from Waterbury to New Haven, he decided to concentrate primarily on the design of churches and related buildings, mostly for catholic clients. In an advertisement from the 1921 edition of The Catholic Quarterly Review, he describes his practice as “Church Architect,” that specialized in “churches, convents, schools and ecclesiastical work. Plans and Consultations on all matters pertaining to Church Designing and Construction.”[1] He maintained a satellite office at 184 Livingstone Street, New Haven, Connecticut, as well as his main office in the Townsend Building, 1123 Broadway New York City.
