Edward Dow (1820-1894) was an American architect from New Hampshire. Dow was born in Lemington, Vermont, July 11, 1820. The son of a carpenter, he began learning his father's trade at a young age. At the age of 16, the family moved to Newport, New Hampshire, where young Dow began an apprenticeship with Ruel Durkee. In 1847 he moved to Concord and established himself as a carpenter.〔"Edward Dow". Granite Monthly Jan.-Feb. 1890: 50.〕 By 1851 he had established the firm of Colby & Dow, builders, with J. M. Colby.〔''Reports of the Board of Visitors, Trustees, Building Committee, and of the Superintendent of the N. H. Asylum for the Insane, June Session, 1851''. 1851.〕 Around 1856 he set out on his own again, this time as an architect.〔''Journal of the House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire, June Session, 1856''. 1856.〕〔Bacon, George F. "Edward Dow, Architect". ''The Leading Business Men of Concord and Vicinity''. 1890.〕 He remained in private practice until 1876, when he took Giles Wheeler (1834-1915) into Dow & Wheeler.〔''The New-Hampshire Register, Farmers' Almanac, and Business Directory for 1877''. 1877.〕 Wheeler had, years before, apprenticed with Colby & Dow, and had rejoined the firm in 1873. The two worked together until 1885, when Wheeler left to supervise the construction of the new U. S. Post Office.〔''Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire''. Ed. Ezra S. Stearns. Vol. 4. 1908.〕 However, he officially remained a partner in the firm until 1890. That year, James E. Randlett (1846-1909), formerly the keeper of the state house, became a partner.〔"James E. Randlett". ''Granite Monthly'' Sept. 1909: 305.〕 Dow & Randlett was dissolved upon Dow's death in 1894. From at least 1883 until 1892, architect Albert E. Bodwell (1851-1926) was apparently Dow's chief designer. In at least 1883, the firm was Dow, Wheeler & Bodwell.〔''Journal of the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire, June Session, 1883''. 1883.〕 He left to establish his own office with Charles E. Sargent in 1892.〔''Gilmanton Academy NRHP Nomination''. 1983.〕 Dow's nephew, Wallace Leroy Dow studied architecture with Dow & Wheeler from 1877 to 1880, when he left New Hampshire for South Dakota, where he would become a noted architect.〔Dumke, Jennifer.
