Emerson, William Ralph
(b Alton, IL, 11 March 1833; d Milton, MA, 23 Nov 1917). American architect. He trained in the office of Jonathan Preston (1801–88), a little-known architect–builder in Boston. In 1857–61 he was in partnership with Preston, then practised on his own for two years. There followed an association with the Boston architect Carl Fehmer (b 1838), which lasted until 1873. A few projects from this early period have been identified, mostly in partnership with Fehmer, which are in the popular historical styles of the period and exhibit little that became characteristic of Emerson’s later work.
