Charles F. Wilcox (1845–1905) was an American architect practicing in Providence, Rhode Island.
Life
Wilcox was born in 1845 in Georgia, to a family that relocated to Providence in his infancy. He trained with local architect Charles P. Hartshorn, becoming his partner in 1873. Their firm, Hartshorn & Wilcox, lasted until the end of 1879, briefly before Hartshorn's death in 1880. Wilcox continued practicing alone until 1895, when he made draftsman Gideon Gardner Congdon partner in Wilcox & Congdon. This firm was dissolved in 1899 and Wilcox again continued alone. He died in Providence in 1905.
