Lloyd Titus, a pupil of Frank Miles Day and the Franklin Institute Drawing School, which he attended in the winter of 1887, received several honors from the T-Square Club for his architectural drawing skills. In both 1896 and 1897 he was the winner of the year's record for T-Square Club prizes, and in 1899 he received the Club's European Traveling Scholarship, enabling him to travel to England, Belgium, and Holland during 1900. However, Titus's activities were not limited to Club competitions. By 1894/95 he and Spencer Roberts had established the short-lived Titus & Roberts, an office which produced a residential development for Horace Manley (1894), as well as the Methodist Episcopal Church for Fox Chase, PA (in association with Edward Swindells. After 1895 Titus worked independently, but in 1902/03 was both an assistant architect for the Philadelphia Board of Public Education and a member of the office of William J. McAuley & Co.. By 1929 he had established an office in Atlantic City, NJ. Projects continue to be cited for Titus in the Philadelphia Real Estate Record and Builders Guide as late as 1936.

Titus joined the T-Square Club in 1889 and the American Institute of Architects in 1892.
