Born: 5/8/1853, Died: 10/2/1944 Although chiefly known as a Baltimore architect and heir to a wealthy flour milling family (Ellicott City, MD), William J. Ellicott was born in Philadelphia and attended both William Penn Charter School and Haverford College before matriculating at the University of Pennsylvania in the Class of 1883, along with Frank Miles Day. According to family sources, he also studied with the Atelier Pascal in Paris for some two years. Following his Penn experience, Ellicott moved to Portland, OR, where he remained for five years with Ellicott & Lazarus before transferring his architectural operation to Baltimore. In Baltimore he was in the Ellicott & Emmart partnership, and he retired around 1917. Retirement, however, merely allowed Ellicott the opportunity to pursue his many other interests, including the development of an art museum in Baltimore (later the Baltimore Museum of Art, for which Ellicott served on the first board of trustees).
