William Henry Gummer (7 December 1884 – 13 December 1966) was a New Zealand architect.
Stoneways was Gummer's private residence
Gummer was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1884.[1] He studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1909 to 1912 and during that time worked with Edwin Lutyens in London[2] After returning to New Zealand he entered a partnership with Wellington-based firm Hoggard and Prouse, creating the firm Hoggard, Prouse and Gummer. He worked in the firm's Auckland office on High Street.[3] Hoggard left the partnership in 1921, leaving Prouse and Gummer in partnership until its dissolution 1923.[4][5] In 1924 he started the firm Gummer and Ford with Charles Reginald Ford.[2] This new partnership won many architectural competitions around New Zealand.[2]
Many of Gummer's buildings are listed with Heritage New Zealand; often they are classed as Category 1. His own house, Stoneways in Epsom, is also listed as Category 1.[6]
In 1953, Gummer was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal.[7]
