Biography

John J. Husband was born in Virginia. He was listed as a builder and architect from 1844 until 1853 in Philadelphia City Directories. He appears in Cleveland City Directories as an architect from 1853 to 1861. Charles C. Miller worked as a draftsman in his Cleveland office. Miller later went to work as an architect in Toledo and Chicago and was the co-author of an architectural pattern book. In 1860 Husband was living alone in the Weddell House. From 1863 to 1890 he is listed as an architect and civil engineer in Baltimore. He had returned to work in Cleveland in 1865. According to newspaper accounts, after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, Husband was overheard in a conversation. A gentleman said that the assassination was perfectly horrible. Husband replied, "Some might think so; others might not. For my part I think it a damned small loss." Because of the remarks he was roughed up by a mob. His name was chipped away from the cornerstone of the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. He returned to live in Baltimore where he was still living in 1893. He is not listed in the 1894 city directory. (Thomas) Arthur & Husband dissolved in 1891.

Biography

Hubbell and Benes was one of the prominent Cleveland architectural firms from the early 20th century. Benjamin Hubbell and W. Dominick Benes had worked in the office of Coburn and Barnum before they formed the firm of Hubbell & Benes. They had several important commissions including the Citizens Building, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the West Side Market, the YMCA, the Ohio Bell Building, and the Illuminating Building. The firm also designed numerous homes, commercial buildings, and telephone exchange buildings. They were instrumental in the early planning for University Circle. Benjamin Hubbell retired in 1927, but the firm remained in business after the original partners died. In 1960 it was known as Hubbell, Benes & Hoff, with Benjamin Hubbell's son Benjamin S. Hubbell (1897-1988). The Western Reserve Historical Society has an extensive collection of the firm's drawings.
