Ward Wellington Ward (1875–1932) was an American architect who worked mostly in Syracuse, New York. He designed more than 250 buildings, of which more than 120 were built and survive. He was influenced by, and contributed to, the Arts and Crafts movement in architecture. Ward's work is in varying styles, but the houses most typically include crafts-like details such as decorative cutouts in shutters. His designs almost always include garages, gateways, and other small structures like gazebos. ==Syracuse architect== Ward was born in Chicago. His decision to live and work in Syracuse was influenced by the presence of Gustav Stickley in Syracuse, who promoted the "Craftsman"-style of architecture, furniture, and other decorative arts in his magazine, ''The Craftsman''. Gustav Stickley's own home in Syracuse is regarded as being the first Arts and Crafts home. Ward's wife's family was also in the Syracuse area. Ward worked with Horatio Nelson White in Syracuse for a short time. Ward's homes in Syracuse are concentrated in upscale new neighborhood developments: Strathmore, Scottholm, Berkeley Park, and Sedgwick Farms. He designed other buildings in Syracuse, too, and outside Syracuse he designed buildings including Mohegan Manor in Baldwinsville, New York, originally built for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and now used as a restaurant.〔(About Mohegan Manor ), Mohegan Manor website, accessed January 23, 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ward Wellington Ward」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
