Edwin Emory Cull (1891-1956) was an American architect from Providence, Rhode Island.
Cull attended Cornell University, graduating in 1918.[1] He then joined the army for the duration of the war.[2] In 1921 he bought out the practice of obscure Providence architect T. Clarence Hermann.[3] He practiced until about 1942, when he devoted himself to the war effort. After the war, in 1945, he became chief architectural engineer for Arnold, Hoffman & Company. Two years later he and Knight D. Robinson established the firm of Cull & Robinson. In January 1955 the partnership was expanded to include Conrad E. Green as Cull, Robinson & Green. The firm was succeeded by Robinson, Green & Beretta upon Cull's death in 1956.[4]
In 1970 the firm became the Robinson Green Beretta Corporation, which it remains.
Cull joined the AIA in 1930, and served as treasurer and president at various times.[1][5]
