South Kensington, which included the museum, and Wild emerged as his principal architectural assistant. His exact contribution to the scheme is not clear, although he is known to have designed the museum's Cast Court, and seems to have had sole responsibility under Scott for the Eastern and Western Galleries, and for the museum's branch at Bethnal Green, where he designed a new brick structure to be constructed around prefabricated elements previously erected at South Kensington. The works at South Kensington employed a hybrid round-arched style, often referred to by the German term rundbogenstil. In 1869 Wild drew up designs for chancery buildings for the British Embassy at Alexandria and for the British legation at Tehran. Only the latter was built, completed in 1876. His supervising assistant in Tehran was Caspar Purdon Clarke, one of the South Kensington architectural staff, who also, in 1872, went to Alexandria to oversee the mural decorations at Wild's church there. Later life Wild was curator of the Sir John Soane's Museum in London from 1878 to his death in 1892. He made substantial changes to the galleries at the rear of the Soane Museum to improve daylighting, but many of these have since been reversed, as more recent restorations have tried to bring the museum closer to its appearance in Soane's day. His extensive manuscripts, including drawings from his travels, are now housed in the Griffith Institute of the University of Oxford. The Victoria and Albert Museum also holds a selection of sketches by Wild. Works All Saints, Botley, Eastleigh, Hampshire. (1836). St James, West End, Hampshire (begun 1836).
