description: "Sir John Wolfe Barry was an English civil engineer known for engineering Tower Bridge over the River Thames in London, which was constructed between 1886 and 1894. He was the youngest son of architect Sir Charles Barry. He added \"Wolfe\" as a forename after receiving an inheritance from his godfather, the architect John Lewis Wolfe (1798–1881). After receiving a knighthood in 1897, he changed his surname to \"Wolfe-Barry\", so being known generally as Sir John Wolfe-Barry but legally as Sir John Wolfe Wolfe-Barry."
