Frederick Ball (1861 - 26 July 1915) was an architect based in Nottingham. He was Sheriff of Nottingham from 1906–07, and Mayor of Nottingham from 1913-14.

History

He was born in 1861 in Lenton, the third son of George Ball (1823-1887) and Lois Attenborough (1826-1913).[1] His brother, Sir Albert Ball was Lord Mayor of Nottingham.

He worked in partnership with John Lamb (1859-1949) for a while, trading as Ball & Lamb at 5 Houndsgate, until John Lamb established himself in private practice around 1907.

He was elected to Nottingham City Council in 1902 as representative for Castle Ward.

He died on 26 July 1915 at Clumber House, Lenton Avenue, Nottingham and left an estate valued at £31,171 16s 9d (equivalent to £2,292,400 in 2016).[2]
