Charles Barry Jr. (1823–1900) was an Englisharchitect of the mid-late 19th century, and eldest son of Sir Charles Barry. Like his younger brother and fellow architect Edward Middleton Barry, Charles Jr. designed numerous buildings in London. He is particularly associated with works in the south London suburb of Dulwich.

The staircase at the Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, designed in a Soansian style by the partnership of Robert Richardson Banks and Charles Barry Jr.
Charles Jr. worked extensively on projects in London and East Anglia with fellow architect Robert Richardson Banks (1812–72), working from an office in Sackville Street,[1] and then collaborated with his shorter-lived brother Edward on several schemes.
Projectsedit
Charles Sr. had been architect and surveyor to Dulwich College, designing the Old Grammar School[2] (an 1842 establishment for the education of poor boys from Dulwich and Camberwell), among other buildings. Charles Jr. then succeeded his father in the role. He designed the New College (1866–70) – a building of red brick and white stone, designed in a hybrid of Palladian and Gothic styles.
His other projects include:
The Cliff Town Estate, Southend, Essex (with Banks)
Charles Jr. was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1876, and was a member of the Society's Council in 1878. He was President of the Royal Institute of British Architects from 1876-79. He was also awarded the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 1877. His pupils included Sir Aston Webb (himself a later President of the RIBA and winner of the Royal Gold Medal).
Familyedit
He lived in a large villa "Lapsewood" in Sydenham Hill. His son was Lt Col Arthur John Barry CBE, TD, MICE (b. 21 November 1859), civil engineer and architect. A. J. Barry collaborated on major international engineering projects with his uncle, Charles Jr.'s brother John Wolfe-Barry, and Bradford Leslie and was the author of "Railway Expansion in China and the Influence of Foreign Powers in its Development" [London, 1910].[6]
