THE WARD HOUSE
WARD WELLINGTON WARD, ARCHITECT:
LIST OF WORKS, THIRD EDITION
Compiled by Cleota Reed
October 2003
Ward Wellington Ward (1875-1932) practiced architecture in
Syracuse, New York from 1908 to 1932. Most of the two hundred
buildings he designed are extant. The drawings for them are
in the Onondaga Historical
Association’s collections. Twenty-eight houses are listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.
This publication contains the most current comprehensive list
of Ward’s
buildings. It contains only works that can be documented by
primary
evidence, ie., original drawings, building permits, statements
by original owners, correspondence files, and other verifiable
evidence. This list locates the works by original owner, gives
addresses, and status of the buildings, as well as where primary
evidence is located.
The booklet is available from the Arts and Crafts Society
of Central New
York for fifteen dollars plus two dollars for postage. It can
be ordered by mail from ACSCNY, Post Office Box 35082, Syracuse,
New York 13235 or by calling Dalton’s 315-463-1568

For the Glory & Good of Art:
Irene Sargent
& the Craftsman Magazine Cleota Reed
Wednesday evening May 20th at 7:00 PM
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse, NY. 13202
Phone 315-428-1864 for directions
Irene Sargent, writer, critic, teacher, and quite possibly
the instigator of The Craftsman magazine, carved out a unique spot
in the history of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. Distinguished
from other key figures in the movement who were mostly makers involved
with design reform, she was instead a historian of art, architecture,
and the decorative arts. She was a very important find for Stickley,
who needed an expert to articulate his ideas. This talk for the Arts
and Crafts Society of Central New York. Reed’s presentation
explores Sargent’s unique partnership with Stickley and examines
the magazine’s critical Syracuse years.

The Arts and Crafts Society of Central New Your will sponsor an illustrated lecture by author Leslie Freudenheim on Wednesday, 17 May 2006, 7:00 pm, at The Warehouse (Armory Square), Syracuse University. Reception and book signing will follow. Admission: Free to members.
Leslie Freudenheim's new book, Building with Nature: Inspiration for the Arts & Crafts Home, focuses on the beginnings (1865 and on) of the California Shingle and California Mission Style Arts & Crafts houses, and the origins of the trend toward building simple rustic homes in harmony with nature. Some of the key players in this drama were Bernard Maybeck, Willis Polk, Ernest Coxhead, A.C. Schweinfurth, John Galen Howard, Charles Keeler, Julia Morgan, and their "wizard" mentor, the Swedenborgian minister Joseph Worcester. Suprisingly, the famous Chicago architect Daniel H. Burnham, New York's Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted, and Sierra Club founder John Muir also contributed to these developments.
Building with Nature: Inspiration for the Arts & Crafts Home presents some revolutionary ideas, including exciting new material that places California in the forefront of the Arts & Crafts movement. Leslie Freudenheim will talk about her discoveries, quote letters from Joseph Worcester, Daniel H. Burnham, Bernard Maybeck, William Morris, Frederick Law Olmsted, John Muir, , and illustrate her lecture with rare historic images.
Leslie Mandelson Freudenheim grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, completed her B.A. at Smith College, M.A. at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, and completed coursework for the Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. She published her first book with co-author Elisabeth Sussman, in 1974, Building with Nature: Roots of the San Francisco Bay Region Tradition. (Peregrine Smith). Freudenheim also contributed to the book Capital Drawings: Architectural Designs for Washington, D.C., from the Library of Congress (The Johns Hopkins University Press, November 2005). Previously she wrote a weekly column on architecture and urban affairs for the Baltimore Sun and contributed to The Washington Post and Museum News.
