Waldo Vose Howard (b.October 2, 1841)〔Howard, Heman. ''The Howard Genealogy: Descendants of John Howard of Bridgewater, Massachusetts''. 1903.〕 was an American architect practicing in the city of Brockton, Massachusetts and its suburbs. Howard was born in 1841 in Brockton, then known as North Bridgewater. His father, Linus, was a farmer. In 1881 Howard married Mary (Eaton) Nutter, of Amesbury. They had no children.〔 He had opened his office by 1882. In 1889, he took Fred T. Austin as partner in the firm of Howard & Austin. Austin left in 1896 to work alone, before becoming the partner of Charles A. Brigham (Austin & Brigham) in Boston that same year.〔''Architecture and Building'' 16 May 1896: 240.〕 In later life, Howard was appointed City Architect of Brockton.〔''American Contractor'' 13 Feb. 1915: 45.〕 Howard was fairly prolific in Plymouth County, and was competent in the major late-nineteenth century styles. Howard worked in Brockton during the 1880s and 90s, with its population more than quadrupling during his career. He and fellow Brockton architect Wesley Lyng Minor designed most of the city's major structures during that period. ==Architectural Work== W. V. Howard, ?-1889: * 1882 - Aaron M. Herrod House, 772 N.
