Society architect. Spent youth in France, returning to Boston in 1884 to study at MIT.

He met Edith Warton in Newport RI and she became his patron, commissioning him to restore the interiors of several homes. He was noted for the accurate drawing he made of historic houses, often as they were being demolished, and later colaborated with Warton on The Decoration of Houses in 1897.
