Edward Middleton Barry (June 7th, 1830 - January 27th, 1880) is a Architecte English 19th century. Third wire and collaborator of its father, Sir Charles Barry, Edward completed the work of this one, after its death in 1860, on the Palais of Westminster and the Town hall of Halifax, but one owes him also many other buildings of his vintage, especially with London; it often stuck to a very traditional style. He was elected associated member of the Royal Academy in 1861 and full member in 1869; from 1873 until its death, it was professor of architecture there. It reorganized the top of the central staircase of the Burlington House in 1876.

Important contributions

Among its most important contributions to London architecture there is the Theater of the Royal Opera House with Covent Garden. The preceding theater (built by Robert Smirke in 1809) had been destroyed in a fire in 1857. Edward Barry was charged to conceive new “Royal Italian Opera” as it commonly then was called, and completed it for its official unveiling on May 15th, 1858. One owes him also the design of the close Floral Hall, a dazing structure of glass and cast iron, definitely influenced by the Crystal De luxe hotel of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Work completed with Covent Garden had a considerable influence in the fact that one entrusted to Barry the design Royal Opera House {{in}} with Valetta (1866), which is now destroyed.
