This article appears in Volume V25, Page 296 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOANE, SIR JOHN (1753-1837) ,
English
  architect and art collector, was born near
Reading
  of a humble family whose name of
Swan
  he afterwards altered to Soap or Soane. His talent as a boy attracted the attention of George Dance, junior, the architect, who with other friends helped him on. He won the Royal
Academy
 's silver (1772) and gold (1776) medals, and a travelling studentship, and went to Italy to study (1777-1780). Returning to England he got into practice as an architect, and in 1784 married a
rich
  wife. He became architect to the Bank of England, which he practically rebuilt in its present form, and did other important public
work
 . He became an A.R.A in 1795, and R.A. in 18o2, and professor of architecture to the Royal
Academy
  in 18o6. In 1831 he was knighted. In his
house
  in Lincoln's Inn Fields he brought together a valuable antiquarian museum (now the Soane Museum), which in 18J5 he presented to the nation with an endowment; and there he died in 1837. (See MUSEUMS.)
