Otto Herold appears in the Philadelphia city directories only from 1893 to 1922. For most of that time he shares an office at 441 Chestnut Street with Jacob Herold; however, no documents have been found to prove their relationship. Herold's references in the Philadelphia Real Estate Record and Builders Guide continue until 1927, noting an office in Glenside, PA, in 1922, but with additional references for 1925 and 1927 indicating an address at 12th and Market streets in Philadelphia, the location of the Reading Terminal. Both this address and the nature of the projects lead to the assumption tht Herold worked for the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad for several years.
The Circular of the Committee on Instruction issued by the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art for 1898/99 indicates that a "Charles Otto Herold" was a former student working as a teacher of drawing at the Pennsylvania School for the Deaf.
