Biography

Howell & Thomas was formed in Columbus in 1908 by Carl Howell and J. William Thomas who had been college roommates at the University of Pennsylvania. The firm specialized in residential architecture for upper income clients. Howell & Thomas moved to Cleveland in 1918. The move resulted from a contract from BR Deming for the development of the Euclid Golf residential subdivision along Fairmount Boulevard in Cleveland Heights. The Euclid Golf development was built on John D. Rockefeller's former private golf course. Following the death of Howell in 1930, Thomas continued the practice under his own name.
