Andrew Jackson Warner (March 17, 1833 – September 4, 1910), also known as A. J. Warner, was a prominent architect in Rochester, New York.
Early life[edit]
Warner was born in New Haven, Connecticut on March 17, 1833, a son of Amos Warner Jr. and Adah (née Austin) Warner.[1] His paternal grandfather was Amos Warner, who fought in the American Revolutionary War.[1] He was educated at Guilford Academy in Guilford, Connecticut.[2]
Career[edit]
In 1847, he came to Rochester as an apprentice to one of his uncles, Merwin Austin, for whom he worked as a draftsman.[3] He was soon made a partner in his uncle's business, which as Austin & Warner existed from about 1855 to 1858.[4] Warner then established an independent practice until 1867 when he partnered with Charles Coots under the firm name of Andrew J. Warner & Co.[5] After this he had an independent practice, then from 1875 to 1877 partnered with James Goold Cutler (1848-1927) in a firm known as Warner & Cutler.[6][7]
Personal life[edit]
Warner was married to Catherine Pardee Foster (1834–1921), the daughter of Jonathan Foster and Hulda (née Griffin) Foster, on March 22, 1955. Together, they were the parents of two sons:[8]
- William Amos Warner (1855–1917)[8]
- John Foster Warner (1859–1937), who was also an architect who married Mary Adams (1859–1943).[9][10]
Warner died in Rochester on September 4, 1910, and is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery.[11]
