Stories From The Dowlin Block, Chapter Three: Edwin Thayer Barlow (December 2013)

The architect was Edwin Thayer Barlow, who was born in 1869, and lived almost all of his adult life on Church Street, in North Adams. He received a degree in architecture from Cornell University in 1891. In addition to the Dowlin Block, he designed the Boardman Apartments, a Colonial-Revival-style building near Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, and worked on the façade of the New York Public Library. He died at the age of 90. I was unable to locate any descendants.
