Calvert Vaux (1824-1895) was a English/American architect. Vaux was born in London; he moved to the U.S. in 1851, settling in upstate New York and being made partner of an architecture firm. In 1856, he married. His most famous design was helping a then-little-known Frederick Law Olmsted design Central Park in New York City from 1858 to 1878. He and Olmsted formed a long-lasting partnership, also helping to design one of the first suburbs of Chicago: Riverside, Illinois.
