Augustus W. Holton
Augustus W. Holton (1850-1911) was an American architect from Westfield, Massachusetts.

Augustus Holton's father was a farmer and a carpenter, and thus Holton was apprenticed to carpenter Jonathan Turner of Keene at the age of 17. Circa 1870 he went south to Springfield, and west to Westfield in 1872. There, he worked for C. K. Lambson (carpentry), W. A. Johnson (organ manufacturing), and T. J. Green (masonry). He established himself as an architect in the early 1890s. He practiced alone for his entire career, until his death in 1911.

Holton was also heavily involved in town and commercial affairs.

At least two of Holton's works have been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and several others contribute to listed historic districts.
