Ware, Franklin B.

WARE, Franklin B. (1873-1945) an architect of New York City, was the son of James E. Ware and trained under his father in that city. He studied architecture at Columbia University and after the death of James Ware in 1918 he opened his own office with his brother Arthur Ware, who had been trained at the Ecole-des-Beaux-Arts in Paris. Together they prepared a domesticated Georgian Revival design for the Young Men's Christian Association, Montreal Street at Williams Street, SHERBROOKE, QUE. in 1929 (C.R., xliii, 24 April 1929, 63). This work, completed in collaboration with the local Sherbrooke architect Louis N. Audet, was their only known commission in this country (biographies of Arthur Ware and Franklin B. Ware in H. Withey, Biographical Dictionary of American Architects, 1956, 631-32)
