Bradlee, Winslow & Wetherell

Bradlee, Winslow & Wetherell (1872-1888) was an architecture firm in Boston, Massachusetts.[1] Its principals were Nathaniel Jeremiah Bradlee (1829-1888), Walter Thacher Winslow (1843-1909) and George Homans Wetherell (1854-1930). Most of the firm's work was local to Boston and New England, with a few commissions as far afield as Seattle and Kansas City.

St. Andrew's By-The-Sea, credited to Winslow & Wetherell

The firm is variously credited. Nathaniel Bradlee had run a thriving solo practice in Boston since 1854. In 1872 Bradlee promoted Winslow to partner, creating Bradlee & Winslow for 12 years. (Bradlee appears to retain solo credit for some projects afterward, for example Danvers State Hospital.) In 1884 Wetherell was also promoted, creating Bradlee, Winslow & Wetherell.[2][3]

Bradlee died in 1888. Winslow & Wetherell then formed their partnership as Bradlee's successor firm.[4] Architect Henry Forbes Bigelow (1867-1929) joined the organization around 1898, after which the partnership was credited as Winslow, Wetherell & Bigelow, then Winslow & Bigelow, and in its last incarnation Winslow, Bigelow & Wadsworth. Winslow died in 1909 and control of the partnership went to Bigelow.

A number of works by the firm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5]

gollark: That is wrong on so many levels.
gollark: In general, if there is no/very weak evidence for a thing not existing, the right response is "well, it probably doesn't exist, although if new evidence comes to light we can revise that", not "but maaaaaaaaaaaybe".
