Information About

Richard A. Waite




Waite arrived in America in 1856 with his wife and children and settled in Buffalo, New York to work in a printing company. Like many early architects, Waite learned building design as an apprentice. He studied mechanical engineering under John Ericsson, the inventor of the Civil War ironclad Monitor.

He continued his studies in New York after 1871 and returned in 1874 as a fully trained architect.

Although he built many homes in the Buffalo area, his projects flourished in Canada and in Scotland .
