A. W. Longfellow
1854-1934
Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr., nephew of the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, attended both Harvard and MIT before studying architecture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris (1879-1881). Upon his return from France, Longfellow found a position as draftsman in the office of H. H. Richardson. He then worked with Frank Alden and Alfred Harlow in the Boston and Pittsburgh firm of Longfellow, Alden & Harlow from 1886-1896. After this, until 1923, he practiced alone as A. W. Longfellow.
Longfellow designed a number of buildings at Harvard and Radcliffe, including Winthrop Hall (1892), the Phillips Brooks House (1897-1899), the Semitic Museum (1902), and the Agassiz House (1904).
Longfellow, who was born in 1854, died in 1934.
